Love creating cards like this: here’s my “not so missing” 1974 Otis Thornton, he of two Major League games in 1973:
Thornton’s entire Major League career came and went in one day,
appearing in both games of a double-header for the Astros against the
Montreal Expos on July 6th.
He went a combined 0-3 in the two games, while taking up catching duties, though he did drive in a run while striking out twice.
The following season he’d spend toiling in the Minors, where he’d play
the last of his pro career, which began in 1965, all with the Houston
Astros.
What a unique post for the blog, even after all these years!
