Here’s
a “career-capping” 1976 “not so missing” card for catcher Jerry (or was
it Gerry?) Moses, who put together a nine-year Major League career:
Moses finished up his career as a back-up catcher in 1975, splitting the
season between the San Diego Padres and Chicago White Sox.
He originally came up for his first taste of the Big Leagues in 1965 as
an 18-year-old, getting into four games before putting in more time in
the Minors until 1968.
After three more years in Boston, even making the All-Star team in 1970,
he’d end up moving from team to team between 1971 and 1975.
He’d would end up playing for six teams in five years
between 1971 and 1975: Angels, Indians, Yankees, Tigers, Padres and
White Sox, finishing up with those 15 games in his final season, batting
.190 with four hits over 21 at-bats.
For his career he’d finish with a .251 batting average, with 269 hits
over 1072 at-bats in 386 games, with 25 homers and 109 runs batted in
along with 89 runs scored.
