On the blog today, we have a 1972 career-capping "not so missing" card for former Minnesota Twins catcher Tom Tischinski, who played the last of his Major League games during the 1971 season:
Tischinski,
who made his Big League debut in 1969 with 37 games as a 24=year-old,
appeared in 21 games for the Twins in 1971, hitting .130 with three hits
over 23 at-bats, driving in two and collecting two doubles, the only
doubles of his brief career.
He would play in the Minors
between 1972 and 1974 before retiring for good, leaving the game with 82
career games over parts of three years, hitting .181 with 21 hits in
116 at-bats, scoring eight runs while driving in six, with a home run
and the aforementioned two doubles.
