NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1973 DON HAHN

Here’s a “not so missing” 1973 card for former outfielder Don Hahn, who suited up for the New York Mets in 1972, though not enough to warrant a card by the folks at Topps the following year:


Hahn appeared in only 17 games during the 1972 season, batting .162 with six hits over 37 at-bats while getting time out in center and right fields.
Originally up with the Montreal Expos for four games during their inaugural season of 1969, he came over to the Mets right before the 1971 season for Ron Swoboda.
Never a full-time player, he put together a seven-year career in the Big Leagues, finishing up with a .236 batting average with 235 hits over 997 at-bats in 454 games.
After spending the first six seasons with the Expos and Mets, he played out his career in 1975 with no-less than three teams: Philadelphia Phillies, St. Louis Cardinals and Sa Diego Padres.
