See the answer to the Willie McCovey question. Cepeda, was primarily a first baseman with the San Francisco Giants, St. Louis Cardinals, Oakland A's and finished his career with the Kansas City Royals. Cepeda played a couple of season's as the Giants regular left fielder as the Giants worked McCovey into the lineup at first and then in left, but played the bulk of his career at first.
