NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1972 MILT RAMIREZ

Today we have a “not so missing” 1972 card for former St. Louis Cardinals infielder Milt Ramirez, who appeared in a handful of games during the 1971 season:


Ramirez made his MLB debut in 1970, appearing in 62 games for the Redbirds, hitting .190 with 15 hits over 79 at-bats.
In 1971 he only appeared in four games, hitting .273 with three hits in 11 at-bats, and as it turns out he’d toil in the Minors for the next seven years for various organizations before finally making it all the way back in 1979 with 28 games for the Oakland A’s.
In that last Big League season for him, he hit .161 with 10 hits in 62 at-bats, before returning for one last professional season in the Minor Leagues in 1980.
All told, in his brief three season career Ramirez hit .184 with 28 hits over 152 at-bats, appearing in 94 games, scoring 14 runs while driving in six.
