Up on the blog today is a “not so missing” 1973 card for 10-year Major League infielder Mike Tyson, who started his Big League career with 13 games in 1972 for the St. Louis Cardinals:
Tyson hit .189 over that limited action as a 22-year-old, collecting
seven hits over 37 at-bats while playing both second and short.
He’d have a full season in 1973, hitting .243 over 144 games and 506
plate appearances, scoring 48 runs while driving in 33 with 144 hits in
469 official at-bats.
He’d play eight years for the Cardinals before moving on to the Chicago
Cubs for what ended up being the last two years of his career in 1980
and 1982.
Overall, in his ten years as a Major Leaguer, Tyson finished with a .241
batting average, with 714 hits in 2959 at-bats, with 281 runs scored
and 269 RBIs in 1017 games.
