Up on the blog today, we have a 1979 "not so missing" card for three year Major League shortstop Pat Rockett, who played the last of his Big League games during the 1979 season:
Rockett
appeared in 55 games for the Atlanta Braves in 1978, kind of making
this card truly a "missing" variety instead of "not so", though he did
hit only .141 with 20 hits over 142 at-bats.
Originally
up in 1976 with a scant four games for the Braves, he saw the most
action during his brief career in 1977 when he played in 93 games,
hitting .254 with 67 hits in 264 at-bats.
He’d play two more seasons in the Minor Leagues, both for the Braves
and the Toronto Blue Jays, but would never get back to the Majors again,
finishing up with a career .214 average, with 88 hits in 411 at-bats,
with 33 runs scored and 28 RBIs over 152 games.
