harrah had been a shortstop for most of his career when the rangers converted him to a third baseman in 1977. he took over for bell at the hot corner and hit .279 with 20 home runs and 77 rbi for the tribe in 1979. one of his home runs was a grand slam against his former team on august 4th. he eventually made his way back to texas for the final two seasons of his career (1985 and 1986) where the rangers converted him again, this time to second base.
