Some info should be changed/added. Huskey was never really a utility player, as he really only could be used frequently as a rightfielder and first baseman. Also, while in the American League, he was used considerably as a designated hitter, most notably with the Boston Red Sox, when he was acquired near the non-waiver trading deadline to complement Boston's lefthanded hitting rookie designated hitter, Brian Daubach. Also, he had two-20 home run seasons, which is a notable achievement in baseball standards.
Something else that should be added is his physique. Huskey was billed by the New York Mets as a stealth corner infielder, a righthanded substitute to Mo Vaughn even. However, in his official rookie season, 1996, his listed weight was 240 pounds, 20 pounds more than the listed weight of Mo Vaughn, whose notoriety mostly came from his being overweight. The Mets actually made Huskey go to Duke University's fat farm to get into better shape. This seems notable enough for notoriety.
