NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1973 GENE LAMONT

Here’s a “not so missing" 1973 card for former catcher (and future manager) Gene Lamont, who appeared in one single game during the 1972 season, for only two innings at that, without even a plate appearance:

Lamont spent the season in the Minor Leagues that season, pretty much as he did the prior season when he only appeared in seven games in the Big Leagues.
As a matter of fact he’d spend all of 1973 in the Minors as well before getting into 60 games in the Major League level in 1974.
After that it was only another four games in 1975 before his active days were over, totaling 87 games on the Big League level between 1970 and 1975, all with the Detroit Tigers, hitting .233 with 37 hits over 159 at-bats.
Of course, he’d get into coaching, and eventually managing after his playing days were over, managing the Chicago White Sox and Pittsburgh Pirates between 1992 and 2000 for eight seasons, even leading the White Sox to first place finishes in 1993 and 1994.
