Time
to go and give two-year Major League first baseman Skip James a “not so
missing” 1978 card for his first taste of the Big Leagues the previous
season:
James came up to the Majors for 10 games during the 1977 season, hitting .267 with both three runs scored and driven in.
The following year he’d appear in 41 games for the San Francisco Giants, though hitting only .095 with two hits over 21 at-bats.
Well, as quickly as he came in, he was out, as those aforementioned
games represent the sum total of his Major League career, as he would
spend all of 1979 in the Minor Leagues with the Milwaukee Brewers
organization before calling it a day.
All told, James hit .167 over the course of his 51 game career, with six
hits in 36 at-bats, driving in six with eight runs scored.
