Today we revisit a post from 2017, a really fun "not really missing" 1972 card for six-game Major Leaguer Rimp Lanier of the Pittsburgh Pirates:
Originally posted on February 3rd of 2017, here's the write-up as it appeared back then:
"Today’s
“not really” missing card is a 1972 edition featuring the Pittsburgh
Pirates Rimp Lanier, whose whole Major League career encompassed six
games in 1971, with four hitless at-bats.
Lanier’s entire MLB experience was as a pinch-hitter, and while he never
collected a hit, he did get on base once by a hit-by-pitch.That would be it for the 22-year-old, although he did get to play on a world champion team as the Pirates went on to beat the Baltimore Orioles that year and win it all.
Not bad!"
