NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1975 STEVE DUNNING

On the blog today, we have a “not so missing” 1975 card for former pitcher Steve Dunning, who already has had a FEW creations here on the blog over the years:


Dunning appeared in only one single game during the 1974 season, throwing 2.1 innings for the Texas Rangers and getting hit hard, to the tune of a 19.29 ERA.
He would spend all of 1975 in the Chicago White Sox organization, putting up a nice season with a 15-9 record along with a 3.49 ERA and three shutouts.
That would get him a Big League return in 1976, splitting the year between the California Angels and Montreal Expos, going 2-6 over 36 appearances, with a 4.35 ERA.
All told, Dunning put together a seven-year MLB career between 1970 and 1977, finishing up with a record of 23-41 with an ERA of 4.56 in 136 appearances, 84 of them starts, pitching 613.2 innings with a save and a shutout thrown in.
