NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1975 BOB GEBHARD

On the blog today, we have a career-capping” not-so-missing 1975 card for former Montreal Expos pitcher Bob Gebhard, who saw the last of his Big League action in 1974:



Gebhard, whose only other Major League time was with the Minnesota Twins in 1971 and 1972, spent the 1973 season in the Minors before making it back North of the border with Montreal, appearing in a single game and tossing two innings.
In those two innings of work he gave up five hits, one of them a home run, for a 4.50 earned run average in a relief role.
He would spend all of 1975 in the Montreal Minor Leagues, having a decent year out of the bullpen, going 4-3 with a nice 2.67 ERA over 44 appearances and 64 innings, but even though still only 32 years of age, he retired at year’s end.
All told, his Big League time amounted to a record of 1-3, with a 5.93 ERA over 31 appearances and 41 innings pitched, picking up a save and striking out 26 in parts of three seasons.
