NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1977 JACK BAKER

Here’s a 1977 card for a player I’ve been meaning to tackle for some time now, former Red Sox first baseman (of a dozen games) Jack Baker:


Baker hit .130 over those 12 games in 1976, the first of his Major League career, collecting three hits in 23 at-bats with a homer and two runs batted in.
The following season would see him appear in only three games, which as it turned out were the last three Big League games he’d play in for his brief career, going 0-3.
In 1978, he would split the season between the Indians and Blue Jays organizations in Triple-A, but would never get the chance to play back on the Major League level, finishing his career with 14 games played, three hits, and a .115 batting average.
