NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1975 JIM DEIDEL

Here’s a card I’ve been meaning to create for some time, and I know there are a few of you out there waiting for it, my 1975 “not so missing” card for two-game Major League catcher Jim Deidel of the New York Yankees:


Deidel made his MLB debut on May 31st of 1974, followed up by what would be his last game on June 5th, going 0-for-2 at the plate.
It was back to the Minors for him where he’d play through the 1975 season before retiring, having played out his entire nine-year professional career with the Yankees organization between 1967 and 1975.
I’d say about five followers of this blog have contacted me about creating a card for Deidel over the past few years, hope this fills that need!
