#213 Angels Rookie Stars

Billy Parker, Art Kusnyer, Tom Silverio This card could be called (besides an airbrushing nightmare) "Best of AAA Salt Lake City 1971"....nobody is particularly a rookie age here....Parker being age 29 at time and mysteriously starting in age organized ball at age 27.....Kusnyer started playing 1966, Silverio in 1965 were 25 at the time.....all hit very well in SLC and collectively their career pinnacle....Parker hit a solid .306 and is the team leader in homers and RBIs....Silverio a fine .339 Kusnyer a .316 clip....Unfortunately this did not into big league stardom.....Results were Kusnyer gets 313 at bats over 6 seasons and sputters a .176 BA...Parker a paltry .222 in 278 plate appearances.....Sliverio 3 hits in 30 at bats....interesting yet inconsequential lot upon further inspection.
