NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1972 MARV STAEHLE

Here’s a “not so missing” 1972 card for former infielder Marv Staehle, who wrapped up a seven-year Major League career with the Atlanta Braves the previous season:


Coming over from the Montreal Expos, where he played the 1st two seasons in the organization’s existence, Staehle appeared in 22 games for the Braves, batting .111 with four hits over 36 at-bats while playing both second and short.
He spent the first four years of his career with the Chicago White Sox, where he never appeared in more than 32 games in any one season.
All told, for his MLB career Staehle batted .207 with 94 knocks over 455 official at-bats, with a single home run, 33 runs batted in and 53 runs scored while playing the middle infield positions.
