NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1977 MIKE POTTER

Up on the blog today, a "not so missing" 1977 card for former St. Louis Cardinal outfielder Mike Potter, who made his Big League debut during the 1976 season:

 

Potter, who also got a "not so missing" 1978 card here on the blog about a month ago, gets today's card based on his nine game debut in 1976, which saw him go a rough 0-16 at the plate with six strikeouts.

The following year he'd only appear in five games, going 0-7 with two strikeouts, which sadly for him, would be the last action he'd see in the Majors.

He would spend all of 1978 and 1979 in the Minors, playing for both the St. Louis and Seattle organizations, before retiring for good shortly after that.

All told, sadly the man never picked up a Big League hit, going 0-23 with a walk in his taste of the Majors.

But hey, he made it to the Majors so can't take anything away from that!

He would spend all of 1978 and 1979 in the Minors, playing for both the St. Louis and Seattle organizations, before retiring for good shortly after that.
