NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1970 LEON EVERITT

Here’s a 1970 card for a player who played the sum of his 5-game career in 1969 as a member of the inaugural San Diego padres team, pitcher Leon Everitt:


Everitt finished his brief cup-of-coffee in the big leagues with an 0-1 record along with an 8.04 earned run average over 15.2 innings pitched, though he did strike out 11 batters, though he also walked 12.
That would be it for the right-hander hurler, at least getting a chance to savor the Major Leagues, and apparently even the Minors since I have no info on him staying active in any capacity as a player after his MLB stint.
