NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION-1973 RON CLARK

Up on the blog today we have a 1973 "not so missing" card for Ron Clark, who has already gotten two "missing" creations over the years at "Casa de WTHBALLS":


Clark split the 1972 season with the Oakland A's and Milwaukee Brewers, appearing in 36 games and hitting .203 with 14 hits over 69 at-bats.
He would spend the next two years in the Minors before appearing in one game during the 1975 season for the Philadelphia Phillies, the last Big League action he'd see.
Originally up in 1966 with the Minnesota Twins, he ended up playing parts of seven seasons in the Major Leagues, with his 104 games played in 1968 a career high by a long shot.
Between 1966 and 1971 he played for the Twins, Seattle Pilots, and A’s before a split season of ‘72, generally as a shortstop and third baseman.
Sadly, the man was never able to get above the “Mendoza Line”, his average never getting above .193. Ouch.
He’d finish his career with a .189 batting average, with exactly 100 hits in 530 at-bats in 230 games, with 40 runs scored and 43 runs batted in.
