Pierce appeared in only six games for Atlanta, batting .111 with a hit over nine official at-bats, with a run scored thrown in.
This was after his MLB debut a season before when he appeared in 11 games, coming up to bat 20 times while collecting yet another lone knock.
In 1975 he’d find himself as a member of the Detroit Tigers, and get some decent playing time, appearing in 53 games while batting .235 with 40 hits in 170 at-bats, scoring 19 runs and driving in 22.
Sadly for him, that would be the last Big League action he’d see, as he would go on to play another 12 years of pro ball, but all split between the Minors, Japan and finally Mexico, where he played eight seasons before retiring as a player after the 1987 season.
