NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1973 BOBBY BROOKS

Here’s a “not so missing” 1973 card for former Oakland A’s outfielder Bobby Brooks, who made it back to the Majors in 1972 after a year in Minor League ball:


Brooks appeared in 15 games for Oakland during the 1972 season, batting .179 with seven hits over 39 at-bats while filling in at centerfield.
In 1973 he’d find himself as a member of the California Angels, where he’d play the last four games of his brief four-year Big League career, collecting a single over seven at-bats.
Overall, he retired with a .231 batting average, with 33 hits over 143 at-bats spread out over 55 games, while playing all three outfield slots for Oakland and California.
