Up
on the blog today we have a “not so missing” 1976 card for former
outfielder Charlie Chant, who made his MLB debut during the 1975 season
with the Oakland A’s:
Chant appeared in only five games for the American League West champs,
going 0-5 at the plate while scoring a run while playing the corner
outfield positions.
Over the Winter of 1975 he’d be traded to the St. Louis Cardinals for
speedster Larry Lintz, and he’d end up playing 15 games during the 1976
season, collecting two hits over 14 at-bats, in what turned out to be
the games of his MLB career.
After a full season of Minor League ball in the St. Louis organization
in 1977, he’d call it a career, finishing up with 20 games played, two
hits, and a run scored.
