NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1971 JORGE ROQUE

On the blog today we have a “not so missing” 1971 for former St. Louis Cardinal outfielder Jorge Roque, who made his MLB debut in 1970 with five games:

Roque went 0-1 at the plate with two runs scored in that brief time, and would go on to play in only three games the following season, hitting an even .300 when he collected three hits in 10 at-bats.
He’d play in 32 games during the 1972 season, sadly for him the most action he’d see in any of his four Big League years, hitting .104 with seven hits in 67 at-bats with three runs scored.
In 1973 he found himself North of the border with the Montreal Expos, which would end up being the last Major League action he’d see, hitting .212 over 61 at-bats with nine hits and seven runs scored in 25 games.
After his brief time in the Majors he’d go on to put another six seasons in the Mexican League, playing for a few different teams before retiring for good at the age of only 29 in 1979.
All told, his MLB tenure finished with a career .137 batting average, with 19 hits in 139 at-bats over 65 games between 1970 and 1973.
