Here's one for all you Mets fans out there!
Although he only appeared in 64 games in his Major League career
(all in 1976), I came across a nice photo of former New York Mets
outfielder Leon Brown recently and decided to design a 1977 card for
him.
Take a look:
While I normally never designed cards for "missing" players with so
little Major League action, I've decided to branch out a bit and start
designing cards of players that fit the bill if I come across a decent
enough photo, like Brown here.
As I stated earlier, Brown only appeared in 64 games in 1976,
batting .214 with 15 hits in 70 at-bats while playing all three outfield
positions.
While his Major League action was sparse, he did manage to pull
together a 13-year Minor League career, playing for six organizations
along the way: the Orioles, Giants, White Sox, Mets, Cardinals and
Royals.
Ironically enough, he fared much better than his brother Curtis,
who got into one Major League game, for the Montreal Expos, in 1973,
going 0 for 4.
