MISSING IN ACTION- 1973 RICK MILLER

Here’s a “missing” 1973 card for long time Red Sox outfielder Rick Miller, who played 12 of his 15 Major League seasons in Beantown:


Miller appeared in 89 games for the Red Sox in 1972, his second season in the “big show”, batting .214 with 21 hits over 98 at-bats.
Except for the three years spanning 1978-1980 when he played for the California Angels, Miller was a familiar face in the Boston dugout until his retirement after the 1985 season.
By the time he left the game, he collected 1046 hits over 3887 at-bats, good for a career .269 average with 552 runs scored and 369 runs batted in.
