NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1971 DARRELL OSTEEN

Today we have a “not so missing” 1971 card for former pitcher Darrell Osteen, who played the final three games of his brief Major League career for the Oakland Athletics in 1970, going 1-0 with a 6.35 earned run average over 5.2 innings:

Osteen played the first three years of his career with the Cincinnati Reds between 1965 and 1967, accumulating a record of 0-4 with a bloated ERA over 26 games and 32.1 innings of work.
He’d miss the 1968 and 1969 seasons before making it all the way back to the Majors for that last tour, before spending all of 1971 in the Minors playing for both the Oakland and New York Yankees organizations.
All told, he finished his Big League career with a record of 1-4, with a 8.05 ERA over 29 appearances, with one of them being a start, in 38 innings pitched, with three saves.
