On the blog today, my second "not so missing" card for former catcher Kevin Pasley, this one a 1975 edition,marking his MLB debut the season prior with the Los Angeles Dodgers:
Pasley
appeared in one single game for the Dodgers in 1974, getting some time
behind the plate without a plate appearance himself at the age of 20.
He'd
spend all of 1975 in the Minors before making it back in 1976 with 23
games for L.A., hitting .231 with 12 hits over 52 at-bats.
He'd
appear in only six games in 1977, two for the Dodgers and four for the
new Seattle Mariners franchise, hitting a combined .375 with six hits in
16 at-bats.
1978 would see him play in a career-high 25 games
for Seattle, hitting .241 with 13 hits, including the only home run of
his career, while scoring three and driving in five.
He would go on to play four years in the Minors after this, but never get a shot in the Big Leagues again, finishing his MLB career with a .254 average, with 31 hits in 122 at-bats spread out over 55 games between 1974 and 1978.
