Found this great image of former catcher Pete Varney, and figured I'd create a "not so missing" 1977 card, even though he did finish the 1976 season as a member of the Atlanta Braves after starting the season on the South Side of Chicago:
The
Harvard educated young man appeared in 14 games for the White Sox,
hitting .244 before getting traded to Atlanta for "Blue Moon" Odom on
June 15th, 1976.
He'd
only appear in five games for the Braves the rest of the way, the last
five games of his brief four-year career, hitting .100 for them with a
single hit over ten at-bats.
In 1975 he’d see the most action in any one season, playing in 36 games
for the White Sox, batting .271 with 29 hits in 107 official at-bats,
including 12 runs scored and eight runs batted in.
He’d
play all of 1977 in the Minors for Atlanta before retiring as a player,
finishing up with a career .247 average, with 47 hits over 190 at-bats,
with 18 runs scored and 15 RBIs.
