You know, I have no idea why it took me so long to create a "not so missing" 1974 card for Hall of Famer George Brett, but here you go after all these years:
Brett
made his Big League debut in 1973 with 13 games for the Kansas City
Royals, the only team he'd suit up for over his magnificent 21 year
career.
In that initial showing he hit .125 with five hits in 40 at-bats, including two doubles and two runs scored.
The following season he'd be here to stay, finishing third in the American League Rookie of the Year race in
1974, hitting .282 with 129 hits, 49 runs scored and 47 runs batted in
over 133 games for the Kansas City Royals.
He’d have his breakout season quickly, leading the league with 195 hits as well as 13 triples in 1975 before winning his first batting title a year later when he hit .333 with a league-leading 215 hits and 14 triples.
The man was born to hit, and would finish his career with 3154 hits, a .305 average, 317 homers and let’s not forget the 201 stolen bases and 137 triples!
The 13-time all-star was a first-ballot Hall of Famer in 1993, getting named to 98.2% of the ballot, while taking home the MVP in 1980 after his magical .390 hitting season, while finishing second twice and third once.
Legend!
