NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1970 STEVE SHEA

On the blog today, a “not so missing” card for two-year Major League pitcher Steve Shea, who threw the last of his Major League innings during the 1969 season as part of the inaugural Montreal Expos team:


Shea appeared in 10 games for the Expos, not factoring in a decision but posting a nice 2.87 earned run average over 15.2 innings, all out of the bullpen.
A season earlier he made his Big League debut, as a member of the Houston Astros, appearing in 30 games and posting a record of 4-4 along with an ERA of 3.38 over 34.2 innings of work.
He would go on to pitch in the Minors in both 1970 and 1971, but never get a shot back to the Majors, retiring with a career 4-4 record over 40 appearances, with a 3.22 ERA and six saves in his two seasons under the Big League sun.
