Today
we have a “not so missing” 1970 card for former pitcher Bill Edgerton,
who was one of the Seattle Pilots during their one year as a Major
League franchise in 1969:
Edgerton, who made it back to a Big League mound after spending all of
1968 in the Minors, appeared in four games during the 1969 season, going
0-1 with an ERA of 13.50 in four innings of work.
Before that he made brief appearances in both 1966 and 1967 for the
(then) Kansas City Athletics, going a combined 1-1 with an ERA of about
3.00 in 13 games and 16.2 innings pitched.
He finished his three year career with a record of 1-2 over 17
appearances, pitching to an ERA of 4.79 in 20.2 innings, striking out 11
batters while walking 10.
