Up on the blog today, we have a 1973 "not so missing" card for former Detroit Tigers infielder John Knox, who made his Big League debut in 1972:
Knox appeared in 12 games for the
Tigers that year, hitting .077 with one hit over 13 at-bats, the hit a
double, with a run scored.
He'd appear in 12 games the
following season, hitting .281 with nine hits over 32 at-bats, driving
in three while scoring one run.
The 1974 and 1975 seasons were
pretty much mirror images of themselves, as he'd appear in 55 and 43
games respectively, hitting .307 and .267, with 27 and 23 hits in that
time.
Sadly for him he'd spend all of 1976 in the Minors and just like that he was done at the age of only 27.
All
told he had a decent brief Major League career, hitting .274 over 124
games, with 60 hits in 219 at-bats, scoring 21 while driving in 11.
