NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1979 SKIP JAMES

Here’s a 1979 card for two-year Major League first baseman Skip James, who played for the San Francisco Giants during the 1977 and 1978 seasons:



During the 1978 season James batted .095 with two hits over 21 at-bats, scoring five runs while driving in three over 41 games.
That would be the last Major League action he’d see in his brief career, as he’d spend the 1979 season in the Milwaukee Brewers minor league system before playing out his pro career in Japan for the Yokohama Taiyo Whales in 1980.
