Our submission for the blog today is a 1975 career-capping “not so missing” card for former outfielder Norm Miller, who finished off his 10-year Major League career with 42 games for the Atlanta Braves:
Miller, who played the first nine season for the Houston Astros between
1965 and 1973, hit .171 for the Braves over those 42 games during the
1974 season, collecting seven hits in 41 official at-bats.
Never truly a full-time player, the most action he ever saw in any one
season was 119 games for the Astros in 1969, setting career-highs across
the boards because of the amount of play.
Though still only 29 years of age, he called it quits after the 1974
season, finishing up with a batting average of .238 over 540 games and
1364 at-bats, with 325 hits and 166 runs scored with 159 RBIs.
