NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION: 1973 ADRIAN GARRETT

Up on the blog today, we have a rarity nowadays on the blog, a "not really missing" card, once a staple here until the players/images began drying up after ten years.

Today's player that gets a "missing" card is Adrian Garrett of the Oakland A's:

Garrett appeared in only 14 games for the repeating World Champions, going 0-11 at the plate while putting in some time out in leftfield.

It was a typical season for the catcher-outfielder, as he would never have even close to a full season of action over his career which began in 1966 with four games as an Atlanta Brave.

This is the fourth such card I've created for Garrett over the years, joining my 1972, 1975 and 1977 creations.

He would play for four organizations: Atlanta Braves, Chicago Cubs, Oakland A’s and California Angels, ending up with a .185 batting average with 51 hits in 276 at-bats in 163 games, with 30 runs scored, 11 homers and 37 runs batted in.

 

NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1975 ADRIAN GARRETT

On the blog today, a "not so missing" 1975 card for a guy who seemed to need a lot of them created over his eight-year MLB career, former catcher Adrian Garrett:

 

For Garrett this is the third such card I've created, joining a 1972 and 1977 edition over the years, as he continually found himself playing parts of seasons no matter where he went.

In 1974 he appeared in only 10 games for the Chicago Cubs, going hitless in eight at-bats while putting in a little time behind the plate, at first base and out in left field.

He would play for four organizations: Atlanta Braves, Chicago Cubs, Oakland A’s and California Angels, ending up with a .185 batting average with 51 hits in 276 at-bats in 163 games, with 30 runs scored, 11 homers and 37 runs batted in.

NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1977 ADRIAN GARRETT

Up on the blog today, how about a "not so missing" 1977 career-capper for Adrian Garrett, who played the last games of his eight-year Big League career in 1976 as a member of the California Angels:

Garrett appeared in 29 games for the Halos during the Bicentennial year, hitting .125 with six hits over 48 official at-bats.

It was a typical season for the catcher-outfielder, as he would never have even close to a full season of action over his career which began in 1966 with four games as an Atlanta Brave.

He would play for four organizations: Atlanta Braves, Chicago Cubs, Oakland A’s and California Angels, ending up with a .185 batting average with 51 hits in 276 at-bats in 163 games, with 30 runs scored, 11 homers and 37 runs batted in.

 

NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1972 ADRIAN GARRETT

Here’s a “not really missing” 1972 card for Adrian Garrett, who only appeared in 14 games for the Oakland A’s in 1971:

Garrett collected all of three hits in 21 at-bats for the A’s in his limited play, batting .143 with a homer and two runs batted in while playing the outfield.
He would go on to play another five years in the Majors, all as a part-time player playing for four organizations: Atlanta Braves, Chicago Cubs, A’s and California Angels, until 1976.
All told he ended up with a .185 batting average with 51 hits in 276 at-bats in 163 games.
