On the blog today we have a "not so missing" 1975 card for former catcher Ike Hampton, who made his Big League debut in 1974 with four games:
Hampton went 0-4 at the plate with a run
batted in in what ended up being a sporadic six-year career that saw
him play for the Mets and California Angels between 1974 and 1979.
Over that time he hit .207 over 113 games, with 28 hits in 135 at-bats, with 15 runs scored and 18 runs batted in.
Never
a full-timer, the most action he ever saw in a season was in 1977 while
with the Angels when he played in 52 games, hitting a very nice .295
with 13 hits in 44 at-bats.
