Kelleher played in 43 games during the 1973 season, while only getting 44 plate appearances and 38 official at-bats, hitting .184 with seven hits, two of them doubles.
It can be argued that he easily could have appeared on a card, at the very least a multi-player rookie card, in any given year between 1974 and 1975, hence my two other creations for him (1973 and 1975).
As it was he didn’t appear in a Topps set until 1977 after a relatively full season with the Chicago Cubs the previous year.
Nevertheless, Kelleher hit .158 during the 1974 season, collecting nine hits over 57 at-bats while playing shortstop.
He would go on to play 11-years in his career, mainly with the Cubs where he’d see the bulk of his 622 lifetime games.
In those, he collected 230 hits in 1081 at-bats, good for a .213 average.
