Bosetti had himself a very nice rookie season in 1978, hitting .259 with 147 hits over 568 at-bats, with 25 doubles, five triples and five homers in 136 games.
Topps selected him as a “Rookie All-Star”, but sadly stopped using the cool trophy they ran for the previous four years.
As for Bosetti, I’d love to know what happened to his career, since he followed up the nice 1978 season with an even better sophomore campaign the following year when he played in all 162 games for Toronto, batting .260 with 161 hits, 35 doubles and 65 RBIS over 619 at-bats.
Not a bad year at all, yet he then only appeared in 53 games the following season, followed by only 34 in 1981, then only six in 1982, the last of his Major League career.
I can’t find anything on injuries, etc giving him such an abrupt end to a once promising career.
Anyone know?
