Up on the blog today, we have a "not so missing"
1979 card for Keith Drumright, who played parts of two seasons in the
Majors, including his Big League debut in 1978 with the Houston Astros:
Drumright
appeared in 17 games for Houston in 1978, hitting .164 with nine hits
over 55 at-bats, scoring five runs while driving in two.
He'd
spend the next two seasons in the Minors before making it back to the
Majors, now as a member of the Oakland A's, playing in 31 games and
hitting a nice .291, with 25 hits over 86 at-bats, scoring eight and
driving in 11.
Sadly for him however, that nice showing in
1981 didn't get him any more playing time in the Majors, as he would
play out the 1982 season with Tacoma in the Oakland system, hitting a
very nice .329, but to no avail, retiring after the season.
All
told, Drumright hit .241 over his Big League tenure, collecting 34 hits
in 141 at-bats, scoring 13 while driving in 13, collecting a double and
a triple along the way.
