NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1977 JUNIOR MOORE

Here’s a 1977 “Not so missing” card for a familiar face to baseball fans of the era, former Atlanta Braves player Junior Moore, who would actually get his first Topps card the following year, though on an airbrushed card showing him as a Chicago White Sox:

Moore actually played the first 20 games of his career during the Bicentennial year of 1976, batting .269 with seven hits over 26 at-bats, with a couple of runs batted in and a run scored.
He’d get some full-time play with the Braves in 1977, playing in 112 games and batting .260 with 94 hits over 361 at-bats, playing second and third with some outfield thrown in.
During the 1977/78 off-season, after being granted Free Agency, he would go and sign with the White Sox, where he would go on to play the last three years of his career, through the 1980 season, generally as a player off the bench, averaging around a .270 average while again playing the infield and outfield.
All told, Moore finished with a career .264 average, collecting 204 hits over 774 at-bats, scoring 83 runs and driving in 73 in 289 Big League games.
