About Jay Buhner
Jay Campbell Buhner, nicknamed "Bone", is an American former professional baseball right fielder. He played for the New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners of Major League Baseball from 1987 to 2001. Noted for his shaved head, thick goatee, and patch of pine tar on the right hip of his uniform, he is regarded as one of the most popular players in Mariners' history. Buhner began his cycle with a grand slam in the first inning, and hit a triple in the 14th inning to complete it. Buhner became a free agent following the 1994 season and was pursued by the Baltimore Orioles, but he chose to remain in Seattle, signing a three-year, $15.5 million contract on December 21, 1994. In 1995, Buhner had a career season, batting.262 with 40 home runs and 121 RBI in just 126 games, helping the Mariners to their first American League West title. In his freshman season in 1983, the Highlanders made their fourth consecutive trip to the junior college world series in Grand Junction, Colorado, and won their first national title.
