Up
on the blog today, a "not so missing" 1977 card for former St. Louis
Cardinal outfielder Mike Potter, who made his Big League debut during
the 1976 season:
Potter,
who also got a "not so missing" 1978 card here on the blog about a
month ago, gets today's card based on his nine game debut in 1976, which
saw him go a rough 0-16 at the plate with six strikeouts.
The
following year he'd only appear in five games, going 0-7 with two
strikeouts, which sadly for him, would be the last action he'd see in
the Majors.
He would spend all of 1978 and 1979 in
the Minors, playing for both the St. Louis and Seattle organizations,
before retiring for good shortly after that.
All told, sadly the man never picked up a Big League hit, going 0-23 with a walk in his taste of the Majors.
But hey, he made it to the Majors so can't take anything away from that!
