Today's blog post has a "not so missing" 1979 card for two-game Major League catcher Brian Milner, who funny enough would go on to have slots in multi-player rookie cards in 1981 and 1982:
Milner's
only Big League action happened in June of 1978, actually making quite a
torrid scene, going 4-for-9 at the plate with three runs scored and two
runs batted in at the age of 18!
That works out to a nifty .444 batting average my friends!
Yet
sadly for him it did NOT get him any more time on a Major League field,
as he would go on to play another four years in the Blue Jay's Minor
League system before retiring after the 1982 season, STILL only 22 years
of age.
Major League ball is a wicked mistress!
How many players can say they "retired" with a .400+ career average?
Go figure...
