McNulty appeared on a multi-player rookie alongside Ken Reitz and Terry Hughes, and once you see the original image you see that he was actually in a Milwaukee Brewers uniform, a team he never actually played for in regular season play, which is OK since he also never played for the Texas Rangers in a regular season game!
As a matter of fact, the ONLY Major League action McNulty ever saw were five games in 1969 and four games in 1972, as a member of the Oakland A’s.
By the time this card came out, all of McNulty’s Major League action was already behind him, though he would put in two nice seasons, one of them tremendous, in the Minors over the next two years, before heading to Japan in 1975 to play one season there.
In 1973 he was in the New York Mets system, and hit 25 homers while driving in 69 runs with 78 runs scored. Not bad.
But it was his 1974 season, playing in the Brewers system again, that he put in one of the better seasons in Minor League play during the decade.
Over 144 games for the Sacramento Solons of the Pacific Coast League, he batted .329 with a whopping 55 homers and 135 runs batted in, while scoring 135 himself with a huge .690 slugging percentage.
Just huge.
Yet all that would get him was that tour in Japan the following season playing for the Lotte Orions alongside former 1965 N.L. Rookie of the Year Jim Lefebvre.
It seems it was the last professional action he saw as a player.
