Happy Holidays everyone!!! I hope you're all safe and well! We survived a heck of a storm last night here in Central Jersey. The wind was something else!
On the blog this morning we have a "not so missing" 1977 card for former pitcher Rich Hinton, who suited up for 12 games as a Cincinnati Red during the Championship 1976 season, his only time with the team:
Hinton was already with his fourth
Big League team when he appeared in those 12 games for the Reds, going
1-2 with a 7.64 earned run average in 17.2 innings of work.
He
would go on to play in Mexico for 1977 before coming back to the Majors
and finishing out his career with time spent as a Chicago White Sox
(his third stint with the team), and finally the Seattle Mariners in
1979.
Over the course of his six years in the Majors he’d post a 9-17 record,
with a 4.87 ERA over 116 games and 249.2 innings pitched.
