MISSING IN ACTION- 1971 RAMON WEBSTER

Here’s a “missing” 1971 card for former San Diego Padres 1st baseman Ramon Webster:


Webster appeared in 95 games for the Padres in their second season, hitting .259 over 116 at-bats with 30 hits, 12 runs scored and 11 runs batted in.
He would follow that up in 1971 by playing for no less than three Major League clubs: the Padres, Oakland A’s and Chicago Cubs, hitting a combined .250 over 26 games, thus closing the books on his five-year career in the big leagues.
For that career he wound up with a .244 average with 190 hits in 778 at-bats with 76 runs, 98 RBI’s and 17 homers over 380 games.
