Here’s
an example of exactly WHY I started the “Not Really Missing” thread, a
card for a guy who made one single appearance as a Major League player,
and I get to create a card for him all these years later.
The player is former Los Angeles Dodger pitcher Rex Hudson:
The extent of Hudson’s big league experience is one game, two innings,
and a whopping 22.50 earned run average with two homers allowed, one of
them being a Hank Aaron blast.
He faced 12 batters in his Major League debut, allowing five runs, all
earned, on six hits in those two innings, and would never taste the big
time again.
He’d last another three seasons in the Dodgers minor league system, and
would leave the game for good in 1977 after an 8-14 showing for
Albuquerque in Triple-A.
