On the blog today, a "not so missing" 1971 card for 63-game Major Leaguer Bob Taylor, who played the entirety of his career in 1970 with the San Francisco Giants:
Taylor
made his debut in April of 1970, and played through September, hitting
.190 over that time with 16 hits in 84 at-bats, with 12 runs scored and
10 runs batted in.
Sadly for him he'd never get a shot in the
Big Leagues again, as he would put in a few more Minor League seasons as
well as two years playing in Japan before retiring for good in 1978,
still only 34 years of age.
Before his MLB debut in 1970,
Taylor spent the previous eight years in the San Francisco system, thus
spending all of his Major League time in the Giants organization.
