NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1970 WAYNE REDMOND

Literally just realized I already created a 1970 card for former Tigers player Wayne Redmond, but it's 4:29AM and I'm not about to draw up another entry for the blog, so here's a "2nd Variation" for the nine-game Major Leaguer, who appeared in five of those nine games during the 1969, his last taste of the Big Show:


Redmond first appeared in a Major League mound in 1965 as a 19-year-old, going hitless in four at-bats while scoring a run over four games.
After toiling in the Minors for a few years he made it back in 1969 and was used solely as a pinch-hitter, though he ended up going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts.
It would be the last time he’d appear in a Big League game, as he’d go on to play Minor League ball through the 1973 season, but never get a chance to get that first MLB hit.
All told he finished hitless over seven at-bats in nine games, with a run and a walk thrown in.
I do remember him appearing on a multi-rookie 1971 card as a member of the Philadelphia Phillies, his only appearance on a Topps card.
