Tom Paciorek made his debut in the Majors in 1970 with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and he saw little action with L.A. when he played there until 1975.  The Atlanta Braves had him next but released him in May of 1978, and by that time, he was 30 and had never been more than a platoon player.  The Mariners would sign him days later, and the First Baseman remained as a platoon player, but he would see more action in 1980 and would have 114 Hits.  That was good, but in 1981, he had an unexpected season.
