Good day all!
On
the blog today, a subject of a FEW "missing" cards here on the blog
over the years, Rick McKinney, with a "not so missing" 1976 edition this
time:
McKinney
appeared in only eight games for the Oakland A's during the 1975
season, collecting one hit over seven at-bats with two runs batted in
and a walk.
He would spend all of 1976 in the Minors, but would come back
in 1977 to play in 86 games for Oakland, which turned out to be the last
Big League action of his seven-year career.
When it was all said and done, McKinney finished with a .225 batting average, with 199 hits in 886 at-bats over 341 games, with 20 homers and exactly 100 runs batted in and 79 runs scored.
Of course we’ll also remember that McKinney got two straight classic airbrush jobs on his Topps cards in 1972 and 1973, which I profiled years ago on the blog:
