NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1973 JIM DRISCOLL

Today I serve up a “not so missing” 1973 card for former infielder Jim Driscoll, who appeared in 15 games, the last, of his brief two-season career:

After coming up for his first taste of the Major Leagues in 1970 with the Oakland A’s, Driscoll had to wait until the 1972 season to play on a big league field once again, this time with the newly shifted franchise of the Texas Rangers.
While playing both second and third base, he went 0-for-18 at the plate, with a couple of walks, in what would be last of his 36 games as a Major League player.
He’d stick around the Minor Leagues through the 1975 season, splitting time with both the Houston and Cincinnati organizations.
However he’d call it a pro career at the age of 31, leaving the game with a .143 career average along with 10 hits over 70 at-bats. All ten coming his rookie year.

MISSING IN ACTION- 1971 JIM DRISCOLL

I’m stretching it a bit here, but today I give you a “missing” 1971 Jim Driscoll card, though he barely played enough to be considered missing by any standard:

Driscoll made his Major League debut in 1970, playing in 21 games with the Oakland A’s at second and short while batting .192 over 52 at-bats with 10 hits.
But he wouldn’t get another taste at the big leagues again until the 1972 season, now with the Texas Rangers, getting into 15 games and going hitless in 18 at-bats.
That would be it for him, and he would wrap up his brief career with a .143 batting average with 10 hits in 70 at-bats, with a home run thrown in, over those 36 games.
