NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1972 TOM TISCHINSKI

On the blog today, we have a 1972 career-capping "not so missing" card for former Minnesota Twins catcher Tom Tischinski, who played the last of his Major League games during the 1971 season:

 
Tischinski, who made his Big League debut in 1969 with 37 games as a 24=year-old, appeared in 21 games for the Twins in 1971, hitting .130 with three hits over 23 at-bats, driving in two and collecting two doubles, the only doubles of his brief career.
He would play in the Minors between 1972 and 1974 before retiring for good, leaving the game with 82 career games over parts of three years, hitting .181 with 21 hits in 116 at-bats, scoring eight runs while driving in six, with a home run and the aforementioned two doubles.
