MISSING IN ACTION- 1972 LOU CAMILLI

Here’s a “missing” 1972 card for former Cleveland Indians infielder Lou Camilli, who played four abbreviated seasons in the Major Leagues between 1969 and 1972:


Camilli appeared in 39 games for the Tribe during the 1971 season, good for 89 plate appearances, finishing with a .198 batting average with 16 hits over 81 official at-bats.
He’d go on to play the last 39 games of his career the following year, posting a .146 average with six hits in 41 at-bats, coincidentally giving him a lifetime .146 average with 22 hits in 151 at-bats over 107 games, all of them played as an Indian coming out of Texas A&M University.
