Up
on the blog today I have a “not so missing” 1978 card for 12 game Major
League infielder Mike Sember of the Chicago Cubs, who made his MLB
debut with three games in 1977:
Sember made his debut in August of 1977 and went on to hit .250 over his
brief taste of the Big League life, going 1-for-4 at the plate while
playing some second base.
He’d make it back to the Majors the following season, albeit for only
nine more contests, hitting a robust .333 with 1 hit over three at-bats,
along with two runs scored and a walk.
He’d play all of 1979 in the Minors for the Toronto Blue Jays
organization, hitting only .150, which would be the last professional
action he’d see in his career.
Overall, Sember finished his Big League tenure with a .286 average, with
two hits over seven at-bats over 12 games while playing second, short
and third base.
