NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1977 WAYNE TYRONE

Really fun card to add to the WTHBALLS stable, a 1977 "not so missing" card for 30-game Major Leaguer Wayne Tyrone, brother of Jim Tyrone:

 
Wayne played the entirety of his Big League career between July and September of 1976, hitting .228 with 13 hits over 57 at-bats for the Chicago Cubs.
Over that time he scored three runs while driving in eight, with a double and a homer with three walks as he played the corner outfield spots, third and first.
Sadly for him it was the only Major League action he'd see, as he would spend the next few years in the Minors before taking his talents South to the Mexican League in 1980 and 1981, playing for both Yucatan and Monterrey.
Nevertheless, the man made the "Big Show" as did his brother Jim, which is certainly not something to sneeze at in my book!
