Here’s
 a “not so missing” 1978 card for Detroit Tiger Bob Adams, who played 
the only games of his brief Major League career in September of 1977, 
and admirably so I might add, yet never made it to the “big show” ever 
again:
In his 15 games career, Adams batted 2.50 with two home runs over 24 
at-bats while playing a couple of games at first and one behind the 
plate.
Before he got the Fall call-up, he was tearing it up in Double-A where 
he was batting .330 for the Evansville Triplets, with ten home runs and 
44 runs batted in over 62 games. Not bad.
Nevertheless, after his cup-of-coffee in the Autumn of 1977, he spent 
the following year back in the Minors before leaving pro-ball for good 
at the age of 26.
Wonder why he never got another shot?
