MISSING IN ACTION- 1973 VINCE COLBERT

Today we have a card that I originally pegged as “not really missing”, but upon further review consider it really a “missing” career-capping card for former Cleveland Indians pitcher Vince Colbert:


Colbert, who spent all three years of his Big League career with the Indians between 1970 and 1972, appeared in 22 games during the 1972 season, going 1-7 with an earned run average of 4.58 over 74.2 innings pitched.
The previous year was his only “full” season when he appeared in 50 games, going 7-6 with a 3.97 ERA, starting 10 of those games and completing two.
In his MLB debut of 1970 he appeared in 23 games, going 1-1 with a 7.26 ERA in 31 innings, giving us a final Big League record of 9-14 over 95 appearances, with an ERA of 4.57 in 248.1 innings of work, with three complete games and a shutout, along with four saves.
