#673 Dave Marshall


Career long, a reserve outfielder…handsome chap…but otherwise non exemplary career…Was named to Topps 1969 all rookie team…and 1969 card showed the trophy…started in Angels farm system when they were the Los Angeles Angels, not California…Debuted with San Francisco…Two seasons later shipped to NY Mets where his numbers increased…hit well against his old teammates with .344 mark…Traded to San Diego where he started the 1973 season as a pinch hitter…Had 49 at bats hitting a fair .286 with a seven game hitting streak…got a hit in his last major league at bat…hit best when playing rightfield.
