Here’s
a “not so missing” 1971 card for former infielder Lou Klimchock, who
wrapped up a 12-year career in 1970 with 41 games for the Cleveland
Indians:
Klimchock batted .161 with nine hits over 56 at-bats for the Indians
while filling in at first and second base, with some pinch-hitting
duties thrown in.
The previous year he saw the most action in any one Big League season,
appearing in 90 games for Cleveland while collecting 258 at-bats.
He hit a very respectable .287 with 74 hits, setting career-highs across
the board with 26 runs, six homers and 26 runs batted in.
He finished his career with 155 hits over 318 games and 669 at-bats,
hitting .232 with 13 homers and 69 ribbies and 64 runs scored.
