Today
we have a “not so missing” career-capper for former pitcher Gerry
Arrigo, who played the last of his ten Major League seasons in 1970,
though still only 30 years old:
Arrigo played out his career with that one season for the Chicago White
Sox after playing the bulk of his career with the Cincinnati Reds and
Minnesota Twins.
He appeared in five games during the season, going 0-3 with an unsightly 12.83 earned run average over 13.1 innings of work.
His finest season is easily 1968 when he went 12-10 for the Reds, with
an ERA of 3.33 over 36 appearances, with five complete games and a
shutout.
Overall, between 1961 and 1970, Arrigo posted a record of 35-40 with a
4.14 ERA over 194 appearances and 620 innings pitched, with three
shutouts and four saves along the way.
