Time
to go ahead and post a “not so missing” 1978 card for long-time
pinch-hitter Terry Crowley, who was left out of the 1978 set, and to be
honest I never even realized it until recently:
Granted, the 15-year veteran only appeared in 18 games for the
Baltimore Orioles in 1977, hitting a robust .364 with eight hits over 22
at-bats.
His Big League career spanned between 1969 and 1983, having the
incredible luck of playing for both the 1970 Baltimore Orioles and 1975
Cincinnati Reds, the two top-winning teams of the 1970’s and World
Champions.
For his career, Crowley hit .250 with 379 hits in 1518 at-bats, with 42
homers and 229 runs batted in over 865 games playing for the Orioles,
Reds, Atlanta Braves and Montreal Expos.
