Today
we have a “not so missing” 1970 card for former pitcher Archie
Reynolds, who started his five-year Major League career with the Chicago
Cubs:
Reynolds made his Big League debut in 1968, appearing in seven games and
going 0-1 with an ERA at 6.75 over 13.1 innings before getting into
only two games the following year.
In those two appearances of 1969, he went 0-1 with an ERA of 2.45 in 7.1
innings of work, starting both games and striking out four while
walking seven, with 11 hits allowed.
Turns out he didn’t have much luck the rest of his stay in the Majors,
going on to play another three seasons, with only 36 appearances over
those five campaigns, and sadly for him never picking up a win. However,
in every single one of his Big League years he’d go on to pick up at
least one loss, eventually ending up with a career record of 0-8 with an
earned run average of 5.73 over 36 appearances and 81.2 innings
pitched.
