On
the blog today, a 1979 “not so missing” card for former Kansas City
Royals pitcher Bill Paschall, who made his Big League debut with two
games as a September call-up for the American League West champs:
Paschall posted a record of 0-1 over those two games out of the bullpen
for the Royals, with an earned run average of 3.38 in eight innings of
work as a 24-year-old.
In 1979 he’d appear in seven games for K.C., again going 0-1, this time
with a much more bloated ERA of 6.59 in 13.2 innings, before spending
all of 1980 in the Minors.
During the strike season of 1981 he’d make it back to an MLB mound,
appearing in two games for the Royals, not factoring in a decision while
tossing two innings, posting an ERA of 4.50.
Turns out as far as I can find that would be the end of his professional
career, as it seems he never even played in a Minor League game again.
All told, he finished his career with an 0-2 record, with an ERA of 5.32
over 11 appearances and 23.2 innings pitched, all out of the bullpen.
