The 1975 A's platooned at 1st Base; Joe Rudi was the only player to play more than half of the games at 1st (he played 91) so he would be considered the "regular".
Joe moved to 1st base in 1975 to make room in the lineup for Claudell Washington. the starting outfield that year was Washington in left, Billy North in center, and Reggie Jackson in right.
An interesting note: of the 1445 games Rudi played in the field during his distinguished career, he only appeared at 1st base in 249. Up until 1975 he had never played as many as 30 games at 1st base and never did again until 1982 when he returned to Oakland to play his last season.

Mostly Joe Rudi, sometimes Gene Tenace. . . .
[Incidentally, the A's had a player named Deron (Johnson, in this case) just a few years earlier. Thought you might like that one....]
