Today's blog post has a "not so missing" career-capper for former outfielder Orlando Alvarez, he of a 25-games Major League career spread out over four Big League seasons:
After
three years as a Los Angeles Dodger where he only appeared in 10 total
games, Alvarez remained "local" and played in 15 games with the
California Angels in 1976.
Over
those two-dozen+ games he hit .167 with seven hits in 42 at-bats,
scoring four runs while driving in eight with two homers and a double.
He would
spend 1977 and 1978 bouncing around the Minors for four different
organizations before calling at a career, finishing up with a Big League
resume that included 25 games, with eight hits over 51 at-bats, good
for a .157 batting average, with four runs scored and eight RBI's.
