Today's blog post has a "not so missing" 1979 card for former catcher Bob Davis, who at this point in time put in parts of five seasons with the San Diego padres since coming up in 1973:
The
1978 season was a typical one for Davis, appearing in only 19 games
while hitting .200 with eight hits over 40 at-bats, scoring three while
driving in two.
Originally
up during the 1973 season, he never appeared in more than 51 games
(1976) for the Padres in any one season, eventually going on to put in
eight years in the Big Leagues.
Over that time he would play for the Padres, Toronto Blue Jays and
California Angels between 1975 and 1981, hitting just below the “Mendoza
Line”, finishing his Big League career with a .197 batting average,
with 131 hits over 665 at-bats and 290 games.
