NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1973 MARVIN LANE

Up on the blog today is the FIFTH card I have created for Marvin Lane, former outfielder for the Detroit Tigers, who put in a generally part-time five-year Big League career between 1971 and 1977. This card closes out that career, a 1973 edition:


Between 1971 and 1974 he played 72 games, the bulk of which was in 1974 when he played in 50 games, batting .233 with 24 hits and 16 runs scored while driving in nine, all career-highs.
He actually spent all nine years of his pro career in the Detroit organization, and when when he retired for good after the 1977 season he finished with a Major League batting average of .207, with 37 hits in 179 at-bats, with three homers and 17 RBIs, scoring 23 runs.
