NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1973 CRAIG ROBINSON

Today’s blog post has a 1973 “not so missing” card for former Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Craig Robinson, who has had a few cards created for the blog over the years:


Robinson made his MLB debut during the 1972 season with five games as a September call-up, hitting an even .200 with three hits in 15 at-bats.
Generally a player off the bench throughout his Major League tenure, he did play a full year in 1974 with the Atlanta Braves when he appeared in 145 games and hit .230 with 104 hits in 452 at-bats and 502 plate appearances, scoring 52 runs and driving in 29.
But besides that one season, the most action he’d ever see in any other year was 46 games the previous season while still with Philly.
Overall, he finished his career with a .219 batting average, with 157 hits in 718 at-bats, playing in 292 games with 80 runs scored and 42 RBIs.
