NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1976 HAL BREEDEN

Up on the blog today we have a “not so missing” 1976 career-capper of sorts for former Montreal Expos first baseman Hal Breeden:

Turns out Breeden’s Major league career was already over by the time this card would have come out, having appeared in 24 games during the 1975 season, his last.
Over those 24 games Breeden hit .135 with five hits in 37 at-bats, with four runs scored and an RBI, with seven base-on-balls thrown in for good measure.
He spent five seasons in the Big Leagues, hitting .243 in that time, with 148 hits in 608 at-bats over 273 games, playing for Montreal and the Chicago Cubs between 1971 and 1975.
In 1976 he took his talents to Japan, where he immediately saw success, hitting 40 home runs with 92 RBIs for Hanshin, followed by another 37 “jacks” in 1977, with 90 RBIs.
After a mediocre year in 1978, he came back to the States where he played in the Inter-American League for Miami, appearing in 60 games before retiring for good as an active player.
