NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1974 MARVIN LANE

Up on the blog today we have a fourth “not so missing” card for former Detroit Tigers outfielder Marvin Lane, this one a 1974 edition:


Lane appeared in only six games for the Tigers in 1973, going 2-for-8 at the plate for a .250 batting average, with a home run and two runs batted in.
In 1974 he’d see the most action of any of his five Big League seasons when he appeared in 50 games, with 124 plate appearances, hitting .233 with two homers, nine RBIs and 16 runs scored.
All told, he'd finish with a .207 career average with 37 hits and 23 runs scored over 90 games and 210 plate appearances, with three homers and 17 RBI's, all while playing for the Tigers before heading to Mexico to play one last pro season in 1977 for the Mexico City Tigers.
