After a bit more than a “cup-of-coffee” with the Tigers during the 1975 season, where he appeared in 30 games in his first taste of the big leagues, Baldwin found himself in Queens, NY as a member of the Mets, where he’d get into a scant nine games, batting .273 with six hits over 22 at-bats.
Turns out those two seasons would be the only action he’d get to experience in the Majors, closing out a brief career with a .231 batting average with 27 hits in 117 at-bats with 10 extra base hits.
He’d hang on and play a couple more seasons in the minor leagues, for both the Mets and Pittsburgh Pirates, before playing in the Mexican League in 1980 for Tabasco, before closing out an eight-year pro career.
