NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1974 BOB DAVIS

Always fun to create 1974 “missing” cards of the San Diego Padres, as it also gives me a chance to create a “Washington Nationals” counterpart remembering the dilemma Topps had with the proposed move of the franchise before the 1974 season.
Today, it’s former catcher Bob Davis, who made his Big League debut in 1973 with five games, leading to the following two creations for the blog:

Davis collected one hit over eleven at-bats in that time, good for a .091 batting average, before heading back to the Minor Leagues where he’d play all of 1974.
He’d be back behind a Major League plate in 1975, appearing in 43 games and hitting .234 with 30 hits in 128 at-bats, and he would go on to play parts of the next six seasons in the Majors.
Over that time he would play for the Padres, Toronto Blue Jays and California Angels between 1975 and 1981, hitting just below the “Mendoza Line”, finishing his Big League career with a .197 batting average, with 131 hits over 665 at-bats and 290 games.
Speaking of the “Mendoza Line”, keep an eye out for a “missing” 1977 Mario Mendoza card later this week!
