NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1975 JOHN FULLER

Really happy to add this to my uber-long line of “not so missing” cards, a 1975 edition of three-game Major League outfielder John Fuller, whose entire Big League career was a few days in May of 1974:



Definitely a tough player to find an image for, hence the non-Topps photo used for this custom. Fuller made his MLB debut on my 5th birthday, May 9th of 1974, and proceeded to go 1-for-3 at the plate in his three game career with a run scored. However, as far as I can tell, he was back in the Minors shortly after and decided to call it a career after 1974, never playing Pro ball again. He spent his entire seven-year professional career in the Atlanta Braves organization, with only those three games in the Spring of 1974 under the sweet Big League sun.
