Up on the blog today, we have a career-capping "not so missing" 1976 card for former first baseman Frank Tepedino, who finished up an eight-year Big League career with eight games for the Atlanta Braves in 1975:
Tepedino
went 0-7 at the plate over those eight games, finishing up a career
that saw him play parts of eight seasons between 1967 and 1975.
Never
a full-time player, Tepedino never played more than 78 games in a
season, and that was in 1974 with Atlanta, when he hit .231 with 39 hits
in 169 at-bats.
Originally
up with the New York Yankees, he also played with the Milwaukee Brewers
the last half of 1971, before a short stint back with the Yanks in
1972, then on to the Atlanta Braves.
He would end up batting .241 as a Major League player, totaling 122
hits in 507 at-bats in 265 games, with 50 runs scored and 58 runs batted
in.
