The mystery of Mr. Breazeale’s career–he was a first round draft pick in 1968.  He played in two games in 1969, none in 1970, then ten in 1971, and 52 in 1972, and actually put up league average numbers.  He then has this card in the 1973 Topps set, but does not play in a game again until 1978, after which he never plays again.

  1. He has a lot of vowels in his last name. Also, his glasses are incredible. They look like a hybrid between Chris Sabo rec specs and classic nerd coke bottle glasses. They must have been some sort of experimental athletic eyewear.

  2. Dr. Nerd says:

    Definitely a big nerd, which by itself could have kept him in the minors all those years.
