'''Randy Bush''' is a pinch-hitter for [[Minnesota]] on the [[NES]] version of [[RBI]]. Though not a superman by any means, Bush is easily the best pinch hitter on an otherwise terrible Twins bench.

== Bio ==

* Born October 5th, [[1958]]
* Real name is Robert Randall Bush
* Played in the Big Leagues from [[1982]]-[[1993]]
* 9th inning single broke up Jim Clancy's perfect game in [[1989]]
* Tied Minnesota team record with 8 RBIs in one game in 1989
* Led AL in pinch hits in [[1991]] with 13

* Manager of The University of New Orleans baseball team ([[2000]]-[[2003]])

== Bush the player ==

Randy Bush was a lifetime Twin and exemplifies what you would call a "role player" - he never had more than 400 ABs in 12 years but was an important part of the team nonetheless. He was a worthy pinch hitter and got more than his fair share of starts as well. Bush was one of those guys who would do whatever necessary for the team and his two World Series rings show that he could play.

== RBI Stats ==

* [[Left-handed hitter]]
* .253 [[Batting Average]]
* 11 [[Home Runs]]
* 789 [[Power Rating]]
* 130 [[Speed Rating]]
* 26 [[Contact Rating]]

== Bush in RBI ==

Randy Bush is actually quite effective in RBI, despite the lackluster numbers. His power rating is admittedly quite weak, but he seems to have more pop than players with 20-30 more power points. Part of that is the Twins lack of a bench of left-handed hitting. With only [[Kent Hrbek]] as a lefty starter, Bush's bat is sorely needed. He performs quite well and typically unseats [[Danny Gladden]] at the leadoff spot. Don't expect the world from Bush, but he should give you solid production.
