Today
we have on the blog a “not so missing” 1975 card for a guy I could
have sworn played longer in the Majors, former infielder Ray Busse:
Busse finished up his three year Big League career in 1974 with 19 games
as a Houston Astro, batting .206 with seven hits over 34 at-bats.
For some reason I really thought he played further into the decade, but
nevertheless, by the time he was done as an active player he finished
with a .148 average with 23 hits over 155 at-bats playing with the
Astros in 1971, the second half of 1973 and 1974 and a brief 24 game
spell with the St. Louis Cardinals to open the 1973 season.
