NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1973 ROGER REPOZ

Today’s blog post has a “not so missing” career-capping 1973 card for Roger Repoz, who closed out a nine-year Big League career with three games for the California Angels in 1972:


Repoz went 1-for-3 at the plate for the Halos, finishing his Major League tenure with a .224 average over 831 games and 2145 at-bats, spanning 1964 through 1972.
Over that time he collected 480 hits, while hitting 82 homers and driving in 260 runs, with 257 runs scored playing for the New York Yankees (1964-1966), Kansas City Athletics (1966-1967), and Angels (1967- 1972).
He’d show some pop in his bat during the “dead-ball” 1960’s, having a few Minor League seasons of 20+ homers, but he never got a full season of action under his belt during his career, with the most being in 1966 when he split the season between the Yankees and Athletics, appearing in 138 games with 418 plate appearances, hitting 11 homers with 43 RBIs.
