Playing career, in brief: Gross played 17 years in the major leagues. He was a regular outfielder for the Astros from '74-'76, then settled into a role as a pinch-hitter extraordinaire for the Cubs and Phillies until his retirement in 1989. He holds the major league record for pinch-walks with 117, and is fifth all time with 143 pinch hits.
Post playing career, in brief: He had a long career as a minor league manager and coach, and is now retired.
My collection: I have 43 of his cards, from 1975 to 1989. I would be interested in trading for 1976 Hostess #90.
