Gallagher went 0-5 at the plate for Boston, striking out three times, then would go on to play the next two seasons with the Houston Astros as a man off the bench.
He would hover around the “Mendoza Line” in those two years with Houston, never getting more than 153 plate appearances in either season before then moving on to play what would end up being the last games of his career, now with the New York Mets in 1975.
In 33 games with the Mets, Gallagher hit .133 with two hits in 15 at-bats before spending all of 1976 in the Minors for the San Francisco organization, having a decent year but nevertheless retiring for good.
All told, his MLB time resulted in a .220 batting average with 56 hits in 255 at-bats, scoring 34 runs and driving in 13 with a couple of homers in 213 games.
