MISSING IN ACTION- 1975 ROB SPERRING

Here’s a “missing” 1975 card for former Chicago Cubs player Rob Sperring, who had his rookie season with the Cubbies in 1974:


During his first of four Major League seasons, Sperring played in 42 games, hitting .206 with 22 hits in 107 official at-bats with three doubles and a home run along with nine runs scored and five runs batted in.
He would go on to play two more seasons on Chicago’s North-Side before playing the final year of his career with the Houston Astros, closing out with a .211 batting average, collecting exactly 100 base hits in 473 at-bats in 208 games played.
