Today
 on the blog we have a “missing” 1970 card for former outfielder Gary 
Geiger, who played in over half the 1969 season yet was left out of the 
Topps set the following year:
Geiger hit .224 with 28 hits over 125 at-bats in those 93 games with the
 Houston Astros after spending all of 1968 in the St. Louis Cardinals 
Minor League system.
He’d end up only appearing in five games during the 1970 season, which 
would be the last of his Major League career before spending al of 1971 
in the Minors, again with the Cardinals’ organization.
Originally up with the Cleveland Indians in 1958, he then spent the bulk
 of his career with the Boston Red Sox between 1959 and 1965, even 
playing full-time for a few of those seasons.
All told, Geiger played for 12 Big League seasons, hitting .246 with 633
 hits in 2569 at-bats over 954 games, with 388 runs scored and 283 runs 
batted in.
