I
guess we can consider this both a "missing" 1971 card for pitcher Hank
Aguirre and a "career capper", since he saw his last action on a Major
League mound in 1970 with the Chicago Cubs.
Check out my card first:
1970 saw Aguirre wrap up a nice 16-year career, which saw him suit
up for the Cleveland Indians, Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles Dodgers and
Cubs between 1955 and 1970.
He appeared in 17 games for the Cubs, posting a 3-0 record with a 4.50 ERA over 17 games and 14 innings of work.
His finest season was 1962 with the Tigers when he went 16-8 with a league-leading 2.21 earned run average and 156 strikeouts.
Overall he finished his career with a 75-72 record, with a 3.25
ERA, nine shutouts and 33 saves over 447 games and 1375.1 innings.
