Today
I post my “not so missing” card for former Angels pitcher Steve Kealey,
who after having his rookie card in the 1969 Topps set, was left out of
the ‘70 set:
Kealey appeared in 15 games for the Angels in 1969, going 2-0 with a
3.93 earned run average, with a shutout thrown in for good measure.
He’d pitch one more season with California before moving on to the
Chicago White Sox, where he’d pitch the final three seasons in the Big
Leagues, finishing up in in 1973 with only seven appearances with no
decision.
All told, he finished his Major League career with a record of 8-5, a
4.28 ERA and 11 saves over 139 appearances and 214.1 innings pitched.
