NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- BOB REECE

Today we have a “not so missing” card for a guy I have never heard of, nine-game Major League catcher Bob Reece of the Montreal Expos:


Reece appeared in all nine of his Big League games during the 1978 season, going 2-for-11 at the plate, which comes to a .182 batting average, with a couple of runs scored and three runs batted in.
Obviously, coming up as a catcher with the Expos  when a young Gary Carter was just coming into his own was a MAJOR road block.
But Reece went on to play another three full years in the Minors, all in the Montreal organization, before retiring after the 1981 season.
As a matter of fact he played all nine years of his professional baseball career in the Montreal organization, originally starting out back in 1973.
