NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION-1971 JACK BALDSCHUN

Here’s a “career-capping” not-so-missing 1970 card for former reliever Jack Baldschun, who played the last 12 games of his nine-year career in 1970 with the expansion San Diego Padres:

Baldschun posted a record of 1-0 over that action, closing out eight games and throwing 13.1 innings with 12 strikeouts against only four walks.
A career reliever, Baldschun appeared in 457 games over his Major League career, all out of the bullpen, mainly for the Philadelphia Phillies for whom he played between 1961 and 1965, averaging about 66 appearances a seasons.
His finest season would be 1963 when he posted a record of 11-7 with a very nice 2.30 earned run average, with 16 saves over 65 appearances.
The following season, a heart-breaker for the Phillies when they collapsed at the end of the year and losing out on the National League Pennant, he posted a career-high 21 saves.
Overall, he finished with a record of 48-41, with an ERA at 3.69 and 60 saves over 457 appearances and 704 innings pitched.
