NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1972 SAL CAMPISI

Today on the blog I post up a career-capping “not so missing” 1972 card for former pitcher, and fellow-Brooklynite Sal Campisi, who pitched the last games of his brief three-year Big League career in 1971:



Campisi, who originally came up with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1969 and continued pitching for them in 1970, found himself a member of the Minnesota Twins in 1971, appearing in six games, not factoring in a decision with an earned run average of 4.15 over 4.1 innings.
The previous season he appeared in a career-high 37 games for the Cardinals, posting a record of 2-2 with a very nice 2.92 ERA over 49.1 innings, with four saves.
Sadly for him however, he’d never make it back to a Big League mound, and from what I can gather, he retired for good as a pro player as well, with those six appearances with the Twins his last on a professional level.
