Up on the blog today we have a “not so missing” 1977 card for former New York Mets pitcher Hank Webb, who made eight appearances during the 1976 season:
Webb was coming off a nice 1975 season that saw him go 7-6 over 29
appearances, 15 of those starts, which included three complete games and
a shutout, while pitching to a 4.07 ERA over 115 innings.
However 1976 did not go well for the 26-year-old, as he made only eight
appearances, all out of the bullpen, going 0-1 with an ERA of 4.50 in 16
innings of work.
He would pitch in the Majors over parts of six seasons (1972-1977), all
but his last as a Met and finishing with five games as a Los Angeles
Dodger, ending up with a career 7-9 record with an ERA at 4.31 in 53
games and 169 innings pitched.
