Up on the blog today, we have a "not so missing" 1970 card for 11-game Major League pitcher Mike Adamson, who played out his brief career with six appearances in 1969 with the Baltimore Orioles:
Adamson played the entirety of his career with the Orioles, throwing 25.2 innings between 1967 and 1969.
Over
those 11 appearances and 25.2 innings he was hit hard to the tune of a
7.46 career eanred run average, giving up 21 runs and 28 hits along with
22 base on balls.
By the time he pitched his last game on May
7th of 1969 (two days before yours truly was born I might add!), he
finished with a record of 0-4.
He'd go on to pitch two more
seasons in the Minors in 1970 and 1971, but never make it back to a
Major League mound, retiring at the age of only 23.
