On the blog today is a career-capping "not so missing" 1972 card for former infielder Kevin Collins, who played the last of his Big League games in 1971 with the Detroit Tigers:
Originally
up to the Majors in 1965 as an 18-year-old with the New York Mets,
Collins appeared in 35 games for the Tigers in 1971, hitting a
respectable .268 with 11 hits over 41 at-bats, scoring six runs while
driving in four.
Over what was a six year Major League career,
Collins played for the Mets, Montreal Expos and Tigers, hitting .209
with 81 hits over 388 at-bats in 201 games, with 30 runs scored and 34
runs batted in.
He would go on to play in the Minors through
the 1974 season in the Cleveland Indians system, but never get a shot
back at the Major League level.
