NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1977 PAT ROCKETT

Today’s blog post has a “not so missing” 1977 card for former Atlanta Braves shortstop Pat Rockett, who made his MLB debut in 1976 with four games:


Rockett went 1-for-5 at the plate over those four games while handling shortstop in two of those appearances.
He’d be back in 1977 with 93 games played, hitting .254 with 67 hits over 264 at-bats, with 27 runs scored and 24 runs batted in.
In 1978 he’d play in 55 games, but it would end up being the last of his Big League action, hitting .141 with 20 hits in 142 at-bats.
He’d play two more seasons in the Minor Leagues, both for ther Braves and the Toronto Blue Jays, but would never get back to the Majors again, finishing up with a career .214 average, with 88 hits in 411 at-bats, with 33 runs scored and 28 RBIs over 152 games.
