MISSING IN ACTION- 1976 BILL GOGOLEWSKI

Today’s post has a “not so missing” 1976 card for former pitcher Bill Gogolewski, who wrapped up a six-year Major League career in 1975:


Gogolewski appeared in 19 games for the Chicago White Sox, his only season with the team, not factoring in a decision while posting an ERA of 5.24 over 55 innings.
The previous season was spent with the Cleveland Indians after spending the first four years with the Washington/Texas organization, finishing up with a career record of 15-24, all those decisions coming with the Senators/Rangers between 1970 and 1973.
His finest year would be 1971 when he posted a record of 6-5 with a nice 2.75 ERA over 27 games for the Senators, 17 of them starts with four complete games and a shutout.
