Hosley picked up the first two hits of his career over 12 at-bats in that brief MLB experience, but would go on to play nine seasons as a back-up catcher between 1970 and 1981.
The most action he ever saw in a season would be in 1975 when he was with the Chicago Cubs and appeared in 62 games, hitting .255 with 36 hits in 141 at-bats, pretty much setting career-highs across the board in every category.
By the time he retired, he finished with a .215 batting average with 79 hits over 368 at-bats in 208 Big League games, playing for the Tigers, Oakland A’s and Cubs.
