NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1974 JIMMY FREEMAN

Today we have a “not so missing” 1974 card for former Atlanta Braves pitcher Jimmy Freeman, he of a brief two-season Major League career in the early part of the decade:


Freeman saw Big League action in both the 1972 and 1973 seasons, albeit only six and 13 games respectively.
While he posted a record of 2-2 with a 6.00 earned run average in 1972 as a September call-up, he went 0-2 in 1973, with an ERA at 7.71 over 13 appearances, five of them starts, in 37.1 innings pitched.
He’d go on to pitch another three years in the Minors, for the Atlanta,  Baltimore Orioles and St. Louis Cardinals organizations before retiring for good after the 1976 season.
All told, he finished his MLB career with a record of 2-4, with an ERA at 6.87 over 19 appearances and 73.1 innings pitched
