NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1973 JIM DRISCOLL

Today I serve up a “not so missing” 1973 card for former infielder Jim Driscoll, who appeared in 15 games, the last, of his brief two-season career:


After coming up for his first taste of the Major Leagues in 1970 with the Oakland A’s, Driscoll had to wait until the 1972 season to play on a big league field once again, this time with the newly shifted franchise of the Texas Rangers.
While playing both second and third base, he went 0-for-18 at the plate, with a couple of walks, in what would be last of his 36 games as a Major League player.
He’d stick around the Minor Leagues through the 1975 season, splitting time with both the Houston and Cincinnati organizations.
However he’d call it a pro career at the age of 31, leaving the game with a .143 career average along with 10 hits over 70 at-bats. All ten coming his rookie year.
