NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1976 JIM HUTTO

After creating a “missing” 1971 card for Jim Hutto a while back, I come back with a “not so missing” 1976 card for the former player after his second, and last taste of big league action:


Hutto didn’t play at the Big League level after coming up with the Philadelphia Phillies in 1970 until he appeared in five games for the Baltimore Orioles in 1975, going 0-for-5 at the plate while picking up catching duties.
After another year in the Minor Leagues, he’d call it a career, finishing his MLB tenure with a .175 average with 17 hits in 97 at-bats over 61 games.
