A question to this forum in lieu of all the fairy tale application of players without a hint of existence for a team, when we know by the record books they in fact did suit up.

My 'Usual Suspect' question is, do we know what exactly happened with Lerrin LaGrow and the Cardinals in 1976?

We know he was signed April 2 then poof, like Keyser Soze, he was non existent only to then appear in 8 games, starting two and all in September. Then he was traded in the Spring the following year to the ChiSox for Clay Carroll. I get that due to his unique season that there is nothing in B&W, color, or otherwise to be found in the usual engine searches. And he's not in the 1976 Cardinal Family Fun pack (nor is Vic Harris - but don't worry - we've got you covered Charlie Chant!). I can safely put him in whatever missing photo 'title' needed, but now my question is more around do we know if we was hurt for most of the year only to finally make into game much later in the year?

All the discussion around missing photos had me looking closer at the specific players in that season, so I became very curious. Thanks in advance!
