With only one card book to choose from we come to the next card in the 1976 Topps set, number 587. Leo Cardenas had struggled in 1975 and really needed to improve his hitting to keep a spot on the team in 1976.
Apparently he wasn't able to improve enough at the plate during Spring Training in 1976. The Rangers released him on March 24th. He was unable to catch on with another team. After 16 Major League seasons, Mr. Automatic's career was over.

Welcome to the "neighborhood"! I hope the rest of the family gets to join you soon.
Is this blog defunct?
No, it is not. I am still in the process of getting moved and settled into a new job so that has cut my posting time sharply. I am planning on getting back to posting soon I hope.
It's not defunct - it just on sabbatical and may be canceled.
You planning on canceling it Dave? I'm not.
That's good to hear Spiff! :)
Spiff,
How about a series on the starting nine on opening day 1972?
You need to post something. How long does it really take?
