Up on the blog today, how about a "not so missing" 1970 card for
infielder/outfielder Tom Hutton, who started his career as a member of
the Los Angeles Dodgers:
Hutton originally made
his MLB debut during the 1966 season as a 20-year-old, appearing in
three games for the eventual National league champs, hitless in two
at-bats.
After spending all 1967 and 1968 in the Minors, he
was back in the Big Leagues in 1969 with 16 games, hitting .271 with
two runs scored and four runs batted in.
Sadly for him he'd be
back in the Minors until 1972, when he made it back to the Majors for
good, now a member of the Philadelphia Phillies.
He'd play
through the 1981 season, suiting up for the Toronto Blue Jays and
Montreal Expos as well as the previous two teams, appearing in 952 games
overall, hitting .248 with 410 hits in 1655 at-bats, playing both the
outfield spots and first base over his career.
