Here’s
a “not so missing” 1973 card for former second baseman and left-fielder
Chuck Goggins of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who made his MLB debut with
five games during the 1972 season:
Goggins went 2-for-7 at the plate, good for a .286 average, with a walk
thrown in while playing second base in one of those games.
The following year, after starting the season with Pittsburgh, he’d be
purchased by the Atlanta Braves where he’d appear in 64 games, batting a
combined .297 in 101 at-bats with 19 runs scored.
As the 1974 season was about to open up, he was traded to the Boston Red
Sox, where he’d end up playing in only two games, the last two games of
his Big League career, and what would end up the last of his pro
career.
All told, he played in 72 games in the Majors, batting a very nice .293
with 29 hits over 99 at-bats, with 19 runs scored and seven runs batted
in.
