Here’s
a “not so missing” 1975 card for former Boston Red Sox pitcher Lance
Clemons, who had a taste of the Majors over three brief seasons:
Clemons, who originally came up in 1971 with the Kansas City Royals,
appeared in six games for Boston during the 1974 season, compiling a 1-0
record with a 9.95 earned run average over 6.1 innings of work, all out
of the ‘pen.
It was his first action back since 1972 while with the St. Louis
Cardinals, when he went 0-1 over three games and 5.1 innings pitched.
However, that 1974 activity with the Red Sox would be the last action
he’d see on the big league level, finishing up with a 2-1 record along
with a 6.06 earned run average in 19 appearances and 35.2 innings.
