After a very nice rookie showing in 1977 when he hit .323 over 25 games for the World Champs, Zeber was still hard pressed to crack the Yankee line-up, as evidenced by only three appearances during the second straight championship campaign.
He went 0-for-6 at the plate, in what would end up being his last taste of the Big Leagues, heading back to the Minor Leagues, where he’d finish out the season, hitting .235 in Triple-A ball.
The mystery is that it seems after that 1978 season, he never played pro ball again. I cannot find any other information on active play after that.
Nevertheless, Zeber was forever immortalized on cardboard with that 1978 card, smack dab in between those other Yankees like Reggie, Nettles and Guidry in that great 1978 set.
