Here’s
a 1973 card for former pitcher Tom Dukes, who finished up a six-year
career in 1972, appearing in seven games with the California Angels:
Dukes posted a record of 0-1 for the Angels, with a sparkling 1.64
earned run average over 11 innings pitched with eight strikeouts and
nary a walk.
But that would be it for the 29 year-old pitcher in the Big Leagues,
after coming up with the Houston Astros in 1967 he’d end up going 5-16
over his career, appearing in 161 games with 22 saves and an ERA of
4.35, all out of the bullpen for Houston, San Diego padres, Baltimore
Orioles and Angels.
