NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1977 HUGH YANCY

Here’s a “not so missing” 1977 card for a guy who already played the last of his Major League games by the time this card would have come out, former Chicago White Sox infielder Hugh Yancy:


Yancy, who also got a “not so missing” 1975 card here on the blog a couple of years ago, appeared in three games for Chicago during the 1976 season, going 1-for-10 at the plate while playing some second base.
He also saw three games in 1972 and just one game in 1974, giving him a career total of seven games played, with two hits over 19 at-bats for a .105 batting average.
He would go on to play in the Minor Leagues through the 1979 season but never make it back to a Major League game.
I plan on closing out his baseball card resume with a “not so missing” 1973 slab in the near future. For the complete “collectors” out there, keep an eye out for it!
