NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1972 RICH SEVERSON

Today’s blog post has a career-capping “not so missing” 1972 card for former Kansas City Royals infielder Rich Severson, who played the last of his brief two-year MLB career during the 1971 season:


Severson appeared in 16 games for the Royals in 1971, hitting an even .300 with nine hits over 30 at-bats along with four runs scored and an RBI while playing second, short and third on the defensive end.
His Big League debut was a year prior, during the Royals’ second season, where he played in 77 games, hitting .250 with 60 hits over 240 at-bats, both scoring and driving in 22 runs.
He would end up spending the next two seasons in the Royals and Philadelphia Phillies Minor League systems, retiring after the  1973 campaign.
All told, his two-year MLB career resulted in a .256 batting average, with 69 hits over 270 at-bats, with 26 runs scored and 23 RBIs.
