Up
on the blog today we have a career-capping “not so missing” 1973 card
for former reliever Dennis Higgins, who finished up his seven-year Major
League career with 15 games for the St. Louis Cardinals:
Higgins ended the season with a record of 1-2 along with a 3.97 earned
run average for the Cardinals, also getting one start, the first since
his rookie season of 1966.
For his career, he appeared in 241 games with a 22-23 record, with a
3.42 ERA and 46 saves, playing for the Chicago White Sox, Washington
Senators, Cleveland Indians and Cardinals.
His finest season would have been 1969 when he posted a 10-9 record with
16 saves for Washington, along with an ERA of 3.48 over 55 games and
85.1 innings pitched
