MISSING IN ACTION- 1977 GARY BEARE

Today’s “missing” card is a 1977 Gary Beare, former pitcher of the Milwaukee Brewers, who made his MLB debut during the 1976 season:


Beare appeared in six games for the Brewers, five of them starts, as he went on to post a 2-3 record with a nice 3.29 earned run average over 41 innings.
Those five decisions are basically why I considered him “missing” and not “barely missing”.
He’d pitch the following season, going 3-3 with a bloated 6.44 E.R.A., with six starts among his 17 appearances.
He’d even appear in the 1978 Topps set for his efforts.
But that would be it for his MLB action, finishing his two year career with a 5-6 record over 23 games, with a 5.15 E.R.A. in 99.2 innings of work.
