Here’s
a 1978 “not really missing” card for former Chicago White Sox
outfielder Nyls Nyman, who appeared in a single game during the 1977
season, his last game as a Big Leaguer:
Nyman capped-off a brief four-year Major League career which really
encompassed the 1975 season when he played in 106 games. That’s 106 of
the lifetime 120 games he played in his entire tenure in the Majors.
Originally up for five games in 1974, he then played eight games in 1976 before that last single game in 1977.
In that game he went 0-1 at the plate before returning to the Minor
Leagues for the rest of the season, where he’d remain for another two
seasons before retiring for good at the end of 1979.
All told, Nyman finished his career with a .238 average with 85 hits
over 357 at-bats in 120 games, with 43 runs scored and 33 runs batted
in.
