This interested me
And probably NO ONE else -- but I was watching on MLB Network yesterday the replay of a July 12, 1969 game between the Phillies and the Cubs. Normal Saturday afternoon NBC game; nothing really stupdenous except it was nice to see a game I probably saw 40 years ago again.
But during the game; my ears picked up when I heard names I had no memory of -- and thanks to Retrosheet I was able to confirm my suspicions as to why I did not remember them.
Two different Phllies played in that game, who would never again play in a major league game after 1969 and with a quick search of the Beckett OPG; have no cards attributed to them (yet)
The players are Al Raffo (relief pitcher) and Rich Barry (reserve outfielder). I wonder how many other players you can name that you remember seeing that have NO cards at all (either during their playing career or as part of some larger such as 1990 Dodgers Target)
This needs to be players from the 60's-70's etc.
