NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1978 MIKE SEMBER

Up on the blog today I have a “not so missing” 1978 card for 12 game Major League infielder Mike Sember of the Chicago Cubs, who made his MLB debut with three games in 1977:


Sember made his debut in August of 1977 and went on to hit .250 over his brief taste of the Big League life, going 1-for-4 at the plate while playing some second base.
He’d make it back to the Majors the following season, albeit for only nine more contests, hitting a robust .333 with 1 hit over three at-bats, along with two runs scored and a walk.
He’d play all of 1979 in the Minors for the Toronto Blue Jays organization, hitting only .150, which would be the last professional action he’d see in his career.
Overall, Sember finished his Big League tenure with a .286 average, with two hits over seven at-bats over 12 games while playing second, short and third base.
