Up on the blog today, a 1978 "not so missing" card for Gary Gray, a
player with one of the cooler names in the course of baseball history:
Gray
appeared in one game for the Texas Rangers in 1977, his first taste of
the Big Leagues, going 0-for-2 at the plate while putting in some time
out in leftfield.
He'd go on to put in parts of six years in
the Majors, playing for the Rangers, Cleveland Indians and Seattle
Mariners between 1977 and 1982.
Over that time he'd never put
in a full season, topping out with 80 games in his last year as a Big
league first baseman/outfielder.
By the time he hung them up,
he hit .240 with 150 hits in 625 at-bats, appearing in 211 games, with
65 runs scored and 71 runs batted in, moving on to the Mexican League in
the mid-80s and playing through the 1987 season.
