NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1979 MIKE GORDON

On the blog today, we have a "not so missing" 1979 card for former Chicago Cubs catcher Mike Gordon, who put in parts of two seasons in the Big Leagues in 1977 and 1978:

 
Gordon, who got a 1978 "not really missing" card created for the blog a couple of years ago marking his MLB debut of 1977, gets this one today based on his four games for the Cubs in 1978.
He'd go 1-for-5 at the plate in that time, hitting an even .200 while walking three times, also putting in time behind the plate.
Gordon appeared in the first eight games of his brief MLB career during the 1977 season, collecting one hit over 23 official at-bats.
He’d go on to spend all of 1979 in the Cubs’ Minor League system before retiring for good, having spent his entire eight-year professional career in the Chicago (NL) organization.
All told, he finished his MLB career with a .071 average, with two hits in 28 at-bats with a couple of runs batted in.
