NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1974 JOHN FELSKE

Here’s a “not so missing” 1974 card for three-year Major Leaguer, and future manager, John Felske, who played the last of his Big League games in 1973:


Felske appeared in 13 games for Milwaukee in 1973, batting .136 with three hits in 22 at-bats, scoring one run and driving in four.
Originally up with the Chicago Cubs in 1968 for a cup-of-coffee, where he appeared in only four games, he made it all the way back in 1972 when he played in 37 games for the Brewers, hitting .138 with 11 hits in 80 at-bats, with the only homer he’d hit in MLB play and five RBI’s.
All told, he finished with a .135 average with 14 hits in 104 at-bats, before going into coaching and eventually managing, which he did between 1985-1987 with the Philadelphia Phillies, even leading them to a second place finish in 1986 with a record of 86 and 75.
