Here’s
a 1978 card for a guy who appeared in only six games for the California
Angels in 1977. But hey! Always worth a card in my book! A “not so
missing” card for former pitcher John Caneira:
Caneira went 2-2 over those six games, with a 4.08 earned run average
and 17 strikeouts over 28.2 innings pitched, the first Major League
action of his brief two-year career.
When he returned to the mound in 1978, he got into only two games, not
factoring in a decision and posting a 7.04 E.R.A., with both appearances
being starts for the Angels.
That would be it for him on a big league mound, finishing up with that
2-2 record over eight games, with a 4.71 E.R.A. and 17 strikeouts in
36.1 innings pitched.
