A nice card to add to the blog today, a career-capping 1976 card for long-time Major League pitcher Orlando Pena, who finished up a nice 14-year career in 1975 with the California Angels:
Pena appeared in seven games for the Halos in 1975, going 0-2 with a very nice 2.13 earned run average over 12.2 innings of work at the age of 41.
He
started his career back in 1958 with the Cincinnati Reds and along the
way played for eight teams, with the Kansas City Athletics the team he
made the most impact, collecting 30 wins against 44 losses in 100 games
between 1962 and 1965.
All told, he finished his career with a record of 56-77 over 427 appearances, with an ERA of 3.71 in 1202 innings, with four shutouts and 40 saves.
