Brooks, who played the first three years of his Big League career with the Oakland A’s, came over to the Angels from the Tigers, who originally purchased Brooks from Oakland, and flipped him for Bruce Kimm.
He’d only play in the aforementioned four games for the Angels, going 1-for-7 mainly as a pinch-hitter, with one game out in the outfield.
The following year he’d find himself out of pro ball completely, though I don’t really know why, before going on to play in the Mexican League for both the Chihuahua and Aguascalientes clubs in 1975.
For his Major League career, he finished with a .231 career average, with 33 hits over 143 at-bats in 55 games, with five homers and 20 runs batted in.
