NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1976 JIM STRICKLAND

Today we have a 1976 “not so missing” card for former pitcher Jim Strickland, who you may remember for his three other Major League seasons with the Minnesota Twins before finishing up his four-year career with the a handful of games with the Cleveland Indians:


Strickland appeared in four games with the Indians in 1975 after spending all of 1974 in the Minors, coming over from Minnesota in October of 1973 as part of a four-player trade.
Over those four appearances he didn’t factor in a decision, but sported a very nice earned run average of 1.93 over 4.2 innings.
Between 1971 and 1973 Strickland appeared in 56 games for the Twins, going 4-2 over those games, all out of the bullpen, along with five saves and an ERA at around 2.75.
Overall for his career, he’d finish at 4-2 with his earned run average a nice 2.68 over 60 appearances and 77.1 innings pitched, with five saves and 60 strikeouts.
