NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1973 BOB TERLECKI

Up on the blog today, we have a “not so missing” 1973 card for nine-game Major League pitcher Bob Terlecki of the Philadelphia Phillies:


Terlecki would make all nine appearances of his career at the tail-end of the 1972 season, not factoring in a decision while pitching to an earned run average of 4.73 over 13.1 innings of work, entirely out of the ‘pen.
Turns out that would be the only taste of a Big League mound he’d get over his 10-year professional career, which began in 1964 in the Chicago Cubs organization.
He would spend all of 1973 in the Minors before calling it a career, having only those nine games during the Summer of 1972 as his Major League tenure.
