NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1979 TONY CASTILLO

Another fun card to create for a guy who barely had a Major League career, a 1979 Tony Castillo card, he of five total games in 1978, the sum total of his career:


Castillo came up as a September call-up and played his first MLB game September 22, 1978, going on to make five appearances through October 1st, never to play in another game again.
The California native went 1-for-8 at the plate, batting .125 with a run batted in, while catching in each of those appearances.
He’d go on to play pro-ball through the 1985 season, part of that time down in the Mexican League for the Mexico City Tigers, but he’d never get a shot at the Majors again.
