Really fun card to add to the blog today, a "not so missing" 1975 card for 12-game Major League outfielder Mike Reinbach of the Baltimore Orioles, who played the entirety of his career over the first couple of months of the 1974 season:
Reinbach
hit .250 over his 12 games for the Orioles between April 7th and June
1st of 1974, collecting five hits in 20 at-bats with two runs scored and
two runs batted in with a double.
However, after spending all
of 1975 in the Minor Leagues, he took his talents to the Far East,
playing in Japan for Hanshin between 1976 and 1980, hitting as many as
27 home runs in a season and hitting as high as .326.
Sadly in
1989, just short of his 40th birthday, Reinbach was killed in an
automobile accident in California as he was driving to Palm Springs. At
the time, he was a successful businessman in the home-computer industry
post-playing career.
