NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1975 ANDY KOSCO

Today on the blog we have a "not so missing" 1975 career-capper for former outfielder Any Kosco, who finished up a 10-year Major League career with 33 games with the Cincinnati Reds in 1974:

 

Kosco hit .189 in that limited action, collecting seven hits over 37 at-bats with three runs scored and five runs batted in.

Originally up in 1965 with the Minnesota twins, Kosco was generally a part-timer, with only two full seasons of action over his Big League tenure, 1968 with the New York Yankees and 1969 with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

That 1969 season was easily his best, hitting 19 homers with 74 RBIs for the Dodgers, scoring 51 runs and hitting .248.

By the time he was done, he finished with a .236 batting average, with 464 hits in 1963 at-bats, hitting 73 homers and driving in 267 runs over 658 games between 1965 and 1974.

MISSING IN ACTION- 1973 ANDY KOSCO

 Up on the blog this morning we have a "missing" 1973 card for Andy Kosco, who split his 1972 campaign with the California Angels and Boston Red Sox:

Kosco appeared in 66 games that Summer, hitting .233 with 44 hits over 189 at-bats, certainly enough to warrant a card in the 1973 set, especially since he'd play for another two seasons before calling it a career after 1974.

Originally up with the Minnesota Twins during the Pennant Winning 1965 season, he'd end up playing 10 years in the Majors, finishing up with a .236 batting average, with 464 hits over 1963 at-bats in 658 games.
