Up on the blog today I give you a “not so missing” 1970 card for a guy who also got two other “missing” creations here over the years, former California Angels player Winston Llenas:
Llenas appeared in 34 games for the Angels in 1969, this after playing
the first 16 games of his Big League career in 1968 at the age of 24.
Over his 34 games of 1969 he hit .170, with eight hits over 47 at-bats,
scoring four runs while collecting two doubles, playing third base on
the defensive side of things.
He would spend the 1970 and 1971 seasons in the Minors before returning
to the Majors in 1972, hitting .266 over 44 games, with 17 hits over 64
at-bats, this time also playing second base and left field in addition
to third.
Never more than a spot player, Llenas played every position on the field
but shortstop, center field & catcher over his six year career, all
for the Angels, finishing up with a .230 career average, with 122 hits
over 531 at-bats in 300 big league games, with 50 runs scored and 61
runs batted in.
