Lis played in 59 games for the Phils the previous year, batting .211 with 26 hits over 123 at-bats and 144 plate appearances, with six home runs and 10 runs batted in.
Considering some of the others who got a card in that ‘72 set with less action in 1971, Lis could have easily been a choice to get one as well.
Originally up to the Majors in 1970 with 13 games as a 23-year old, Lis went on to play eight years in the Big Leagues before moving on to coaching.
During his playing career he finished up with a .233 career average, with 182 hits in 780 at-bats over 356 games playing for the Phillies, Minnesota Twins, Cleveland Indians and Seattle Mariners during their inaugural 1977 season, which was his last.
