NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1976 PAT OSBURN

Today I post up my 1976 card for former pitcher Pat Osburn, who played two seasons as a Big Leaguer, and me now creating cards marking both seasons:


Previously I had a 1975 card for him on the blog, showing him with the Cincinnati Reds, for whom he made his MLB debut during the 1974 season when he went 0-0 with an ERA at 8.00 over six games and nine innings.
The card today shows him with the Milwaukee Brewers, where he made another six appearances in 1975, going 0-1 with an ERA at 5.40 over 11.9 innings of work.
In 1976 he’d spend the entire season in the Kansas City Royals Minor League system, going 7-4 with a very nice 2.32 ERA over 14 starts, completing half of them.
But he’d never get a call back up to the Big Leagues that year, and it seems he retired all-together from pro ball.
