NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1973 DICK LANGE

On the blog today we have a “not so missing” 1973 card for former California Angels pitcher Dick Lange, who made his MLB debut a year earlier:

Lange appeared in two games for the Angels as a September call-up, not factoring in a decision while sporting a 4.70 earned run average over 7.2 innings.
He’d go 2-1 in 1972 over 17 appearances, with a 4.44 ERA in 52.2 innings, starting four games and even tossing a complete game.
1974 would see him post a career-high with 113.2 innings of work over 21 appearances, 18 of which were starts, as he’d end up with a record of 3-8 with another career-best, a 3.80 ERA.
Turns out 1975 would end up being his last, as he would see a season that had him finish with a record of 4-6 over 30 appearances, all but eight out of the bullpen, throwing 102 innings while picking up the only save of his four-year career.
All told, Lange finished with a record of 9-15, with a 4.47 ERA over 70 appearances, 31 of those starts, with three complete games and a save, and 276 innings pitched.
