Today
we have a “not so missing” 1978 card for former pitcher Mike Davey, who
made his Major League debut during the 1977 season with the Atlanta
Braves:
Davey appeared in 16 games, throwing 16 innings and going without a
decision while sporting and ERA of 5.06 with two saves, all out of the
bullpen.
The following season he’d appear in three games, again all in relief,
tossing 2.2 innings without an earned run, not factoring in a decision.
Sadly for him he’d never make it back to a Big League mound, playing out
the next two years in the Minor Leagues with Seattle and Pittsburgh
before retiring as an active player after the 1980 season.
All told, Davey finished up with a 4.34 ERA over 19 appearances and 18.2
innings pitched, collecting two saves and striking out seven without a
decision.
