MISSING IN ACTION-1976 PROJECT- VIC HARRIS

Here’s a “missing” 1976 card as a part of the ongoing “1976 Project” for Vic Harris of the Chicago Cubs:

Harris didn’t play much in 1975, appearing in 51 games and batting .179 with 10 hits in 56 at-bats.
This was just two years from his full season in 1973 when he played with the Texas Rangers, playing in 152 games with 618 plate appearances.
But that would be the most action in any of his eight big-league seasons spanning 1972 and 1980 (he missed 1979), as he’d play for the Cardinals, Giants and Brewers after his Chicago stint, totaling a .217 career average with 349 hits over 1610 at-bats in 579 games.

MISSING IN ACTION- 1977 VIC HARRIS

Here’s a “missing” 1977 Topps card for former St. Louis Cardinal Vic Harris:

Harris played in 97 games for the Cards in 1976, with a whopping 282 plate appearances. That’s a ton for a guy who was missing from a card set the following year.
In those 97 games, Harris hit .228 with 59 hits in 259 official at-bats, with 21 runs scored and 19 runs batted in.
That would be his only year in St. Louis, with the previous four seasons split between the Texas Rangers and Chicago Cubs, while the last three of his career were spent with the San Francisco Giants and Milwaukee Brewers.
All told he’d retire with a .217 batting average based on his 349 hits over 1610 at-bats in 579 big league games.
