Here’s
a “not really missing” 1970 card for former Chicago Cubs catcher Randy
Bobb, who REALLY wasn’t quite missing since he was on a multi-player
rookie card in the 1970 set, but I liked the image I came across of him
so I whipped up a card anyway:
Bobb had the last of his two brief Major League cups-of-coffee in 1969,
appearing in only three games and going 0-2 at the plate.
This was after coming up in 1968 for his first taste of MLB action,
getting into seven games and collecting his lone big league hit over
eight at-bats.
Those two trips to the “big time” would be it for him, as he’d go on to
play through the 1973 season in the Minor Leagues for a few different
organizations, before calling it a career.
I’m not going to begin creating “dedicated rookies” for just anyone,
like I just did for Bobb here. But I’m just a sucker for Chicago Cubs
cards in the 1970 set for some reason. I always thought they looked
really nice, hence this card creation. Love those uni's!
