NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1978 BOB COLUCCIO

Time to go and give former outfielder Bob Coluccio a “not so missing” 1978 card for his brief 1977 time with the Chicago White Sox. Take a look:


Coluccio, who went through some crazy physical transformation through the wild decade of the 1970’s (see my other post for him on the blog), appeared in 20 games for the White Sox in 1977, batting .270 with 10 hits in 37 at-bats.
It was his first action back in the Big Leagues after spending all of 1976 in the Minors, and sadly for him, pretty much the last chunk of time he’d get besides five games with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1978.
For his career, which began with the Milwaukee Brewers in 1973 as a clean cut young man, he’d appear in 370 games, batting .220 with 26 homers and 114 runs batted in over 1095 at-bats.
Hopefully I can track done an image of him with the Cardinals to “cap-off” his career with a 1979 card sometime soon.
