NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION-1975 TOM LUNDSTEDT

Here's a "not so missing" 1975 card for former Chicago Cubs catcher Tom Lundstedt, who appeared in 22 games in 1974:
Lundstedt, who originally came up for his first taste of the Big Leagues in 1973 when he appeared in four games as a late-season call-up, collected the first three hits of his career in 1974, spread out over 32 at-bats for an average of .094.
Over the off-season he'd be traded to the Minnesota Twins for Mike Adams, and he'd go on to appear in 18 games, batting .107 with another three hits, this time over 28 at-bats, with two runs scored and an RBI while filling in behind the plate.
Turns out it'd be the last of his playing days, Majors OR even Minors, as I cannot find any other playing time for him according to Baseball_Reference after that 1975 activity.
Nevertheless, in his brief three year Major League career, Lundstedt played in 44 games, batting .092 with six hits in 65 at-bats, scoring three runs and driving in one.
