Gamble played in the first six games of what would be a short 13-game career in 1972, going hitless in three at-bats in pinch-hit roles while playing one game at shortstop.
The following year he’d play in seven games for Detroit, oddly enough listed as a designated hitter yet not having a single plate appearance (?), though he did score a run.
Sadly for him that would be it for the Majors, though he would stick it out in the Minor Leagues until the 1976 season in Triple-A ball.

ReplyDelete#2 - Always remember him being on that Rookie card in '74 with former Phillies great Manny Trillo and current Phillies manager Pete Mackanin
Perfect photo for 1973 card. Looks good!
ReplyDeleteAgree with Dave. This is a great picture for the '73 format. Nice card! Looking back at the Rudy Arroyo card, interesting how there is no indication of position on the front of the card for the '72 format, but on the '73 format, position is a prominent feature.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if that card was for sale? My friend is John Gamble and he is looking for that card to purchase.
ReplyDeleteJohn Gamble is my father and we have never seen this card before. Any chance you have this card or any idea how I could purchase one for him?
