Here’s a “missing” 1975 card for a guy who I also created a missing
1976 for a while back, former California Angels player Orlando Ramirez:
Ramirez played in 31 games in his rookie 1974 campaign, hitting
.163 with 14 hits over exactly 86 official at-bats while playing
shortstop.
He would go on to play all five years of his big league career for
the Angels, ending up with a .189 batting average based on his 53 hits
in 281 at-bats, with 24 runs scored and 16 runs batted in along with 16
stolen bases.
He would get a card in the 1977 set, oddly enough with less action
than his other two seasons in which I created a card for him, go figure…
