Though he only appeared in three games for the Astros in 1975, all as a pinch-hitter, De La Rosa was generally an outfielder in his pro career, along with some first base action thrown in.
In those three games as a Big Leaguer, he went 1-for-three with a double and run scored, all over the first week of August of that Summer.
Sadly for him that would be the sum total of his Major League career, though his pro career started back in 1969 when he was only 15 years old.
He played eleven seasons in the Minors along with two in the Mexican League, before calling it a career after the 1980 campaign.
Though I wasn’t 100% happy with the image I had to use, it was indeed a Topps image, and I cleaned it up as best as the software would allow.
Nevertheless, a decent addition to the 1976 “missing card” collection.
