Up on the blog today we have my third card for former Montreal Expos second baseman Jim Cox, this one a 1976 edition:
I previously created 1975 and 1977 card for the man, as his only
official Topps card was on a multi-player rookie card in the 1974 set.
Cox appeared in eleven games for the Expos during the 1975 season,
hitting .259 with seven hits over 27 at-bats, hitting one of his three
career homers while driving in five runs.
He’d go on to play in 13 games during the Bicentennial year, which would
turn out to be the final games he’d play in on the Big League level.
He would put in three full seasons of Minor League ball from 1977-1979,
but never get the call back to the “Big Show” again before retiring for
good at the age of 29.
All told he appeared in 110 games in the Majors, all with Montreal,
batting .215 with three homers and 66 hits over 307 official at-bats.
