NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1972 MANNY MUNIZ

Here’s a 1972 card for a former Philadelphia Phillies pitcher, albeit for only two weeks as a September call-up in 1971, Manny Muniz:


Muniz had exactly two-weeks as a Major League player, coming up on September 3rd and playing what would be his final game on the 17th.
In those five appearances he posted a record of 0-1 with a 6.97 earned run average over 10.1 innings pitched, with six strikeouts and a whopping eight walks.
He’d spend the 1972 season with Eugene of the Philly Minor League system, going 8-3 with a 4.25 E.R.A., but it would be the last pro action of his career, spending all six years with the Phillies organization.
