Admittedly,
I am pushing it with today’s “missing” player, but I did find a really
good Topps photo to use so I created one anyway: a 1979 Paul Siebert of
the New York Mets:
Siebert appeared in 27 games for the Mets during the 1978 season,
posting an 0-2 record with a 5.14 earned run average with a single save
over 28 innings of work.
Those numbers mirror his previous season’s work in 1977, for which I created a “missing” 1978 card not too long ago.
The 1978 season would be the last taste of big league ball for Siebert,
closing out a five year career that saw him go 3-8 with a 3.77 ERA over
87 games and 129 innings pitching for the Houston Astros, Sand Diego
Padres and Mets.
