NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1975 TONY SCOTT

On the blog today, we have a “not so missing” 1975 card for former outfielder Tony Scott, adding the the 1974 and 1976 editions I created over the years:


Scott appeared in 19 games for the Montreal Expos during the 1974 season, hitting .286 with two hits in seven at-bats while manning all three outfield positions.
He’d get into 92 games in 1975, hitting below the “Mendoza Line” at .182, collecting 26 hits in 143 at-bats, which pretty much led him to spend all of 1976 in the Minors before making it back for good in 1977, now as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals.
He would go on to play on through to 1984 in the Big Leagues closing out with 45 games for the Montreal Expos after starting the year with the Houston Astros.
All told,  he put in an 11-year career that saw him bat .249 with 699 hits in 2803 at-bats, playing in 991 games between 1973 and 1984.
