MISSING IN ACTION- 1975 ORLANDO RAMIREZ

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…
