NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1972 BILL BURBACH

Here’s a “not really missing” 1972 card for former pitcher Bill Burbach, who played all three of his abbreviated Major League seasons with the New York Yankees between 1969 and 1971:

Burbach appeared in only two games for the Yanks in 1971, going 0-1 with an earned run average of 10.80 in 3.1 innings of work.
This was after a 1970 season that saw him go 0-2 with an ERA of 10.26 in 16.2 innings over four appearances, all starts.
His rookie year of 1969 showed some promise, after finishing up with a record of 6-8 in 31 appearances, 24 of them starts, with a couple of complete games and an ERA of 3.65 in 140.2 innings pitched.
Nevertheless, after a year in the Minnesota Twins organization during the 1972 season, he’d retire, still only 24 years of age.
All told Burbach’s MLB resume sports a record of 6-11 with an ERA of 4.48 over 37 appearances and 160.2 innings pitched, again all with the Yankees.
