NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1977 ED GLYNN

By special request for my man Jim, here’s a “not so missing” 1977 card for former Detroit Tigers pitcher Ed Glynn, who pitched just under two dozen innings in 1976:


Glynn made five appearances for the Tigers, throwing 23.2 innings and sporting a record of 1-3, while posting an earned run average at 6.08.
The previous season he made his MLB debut by appearing in three games, one of them a start, while going 0-2 with a 4.30 ERA over 14.2 innings of work.
He’d go on to pitch for 10 Big League seasons, moving on to the New York Mets, then Cleveland Indians before a final stop for only three appearances with the Montreal Expos in 1985.
All told, Glynn ended up with a career 12-17 record, with a 4.25 ERA over 175 appearances and 264.2 innings pitched, along with 12 saves and one complete game.
