On the blog today, we have a "not so missing" 1975 card for former Montreal Expos outfielder Jerry White, who made his MLB debut with nine games during the 1974 season:
White
hit a nice .400 at the plate, with four hits in ten at-bats for the
Expos when he made his Big League debut at the age of 21 that year.
He
would be with the Expos 10 of his 11 seasons in the Majors, playing
half a season with the Chicago Cubs in 1978 and finishing up with 25
games as a St. Louis Cardinal in 1986, with some time in the Japanese
League in 1984 and 1985.
Never a full-timer, the most action
he ever saw in any one season was 114 games in 1976, hitting .245 over
309 plate appearances and 278 official at-bats.
By the time he
did retire after those 12 seasons, he finished with a .253 batting
average, with 303 hits in 1196 at-bats over 646 games, with 155 runs
scored and 109 runs batted in, stealing 57 bases and hitting 21 homers.
