NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1977 MIKE ADAMS

Today we have a “not so missing” 1977 card for former Chicago Cubs player Mike Adams, who came back to the Big Leagues  in 1976 after two seasons in the Minors:


Adams, who originally played with the Minnesota Twins in 1972 and 1973, spent the next two seasons playing for both the Minnesota and Chicago organizations, but never getting back to a Major League game.
In 1976 he’d make it back, appearing in 25 games for the Cubs and batting .138 with four hits over 29 at-bats while playing four different positions: second, third, left and right fields.
He’d only appear in two games the following season, going 0-for-2 at the plate before coming back in 1978, now with the Oakland A’s, playing in 15 games, which ended up being the last of his MLB career, hitting an even .200 with three hits over 15 at-bats.
That would end up not only being his MLB career, but his professional career as well, retiring at the age of 29, playing parts of five MLB seasons and appearing in 100 games, hitting .195 with 23 hits in 118 at-bats, with 27 runs scored and nine runs batted in.
