Today's blog post has a "not so missing" 1979 card for former catcher Ike Hampton, who appeared in just under two dozen games for the California Angels during the 1978 season:
Hampton
played in 19 games that year, hitting .214 with three hits over
fourteen at-bats while picking up a little time behind the plate and at
first base.
Originally
up with the New York Mets in 1974, he would play the rest of his
abbreviated six-year Big League career with California, batting .207, with 28 hits over
135 at-bats, with four homers, 15 runs scored and 18 RBI’s, with most
of his games as a catcher with some action at first, short and third.
