Today
we have a “not so missing” 1977 card for former outfielder Jimmy
Rosario, who made it all the way back to the Big Leagues in 1976 after
three years in the Minors:
Rosario last saw action on a Major League field in 1972, appearing in
only seven games for the San Francisco Giants, the team he came up with
just one season before as a 26-year-old rookie.
In 1976 he was now a member of the Milwaukee Brewers, and proceeded to
hit .189 in limited play, collecting what would be the last seven hits
of his brief career over 37 at-bats, scoring four runs and driving in
five in 15 games.
The following year he would go on to the Japanese League where he’d play
for the Crown Lighter Lions before playing out his pro career with five
seasons in the Mexican League until the age of 37 in 1982.
