Up on the blog today we have a "not so missing" 1974 card for former Baltimore Orioles outfielder Curt Motton, who was at the tail-end of his Big League career when this card would have seen the light of day:
Motton
appeared in only five games for Baltimore in 1973, hitting .333 with
two hits over six official at-bats, with two runs scored and four runs
batted in.
He
would be back in 1974 to appear in what would end up being his last
Major league games, seven to be exact, going 0-8 at the plate before
calling it a career shortly after.
Over his eight-year MLB tenure, he hit .213 with 121 hits in 567
at-bats, but most importantly was a member of the juggernaut Oriole
teams between 1969 and 1971, with a World Championship in 1970.
