NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1979 OSCAR ZAMORA

On the blog today, a career-capping "not so missing" 1979 card for former pitcher Oscar Zamora, who played the last games of his brief Major League career during the 1977 season:

 
Zamora appeared in 10 games for the Houston Astros, his only season with them after parts of three seasons with the Chicago Cubs between 1974 and 1976.
Over those ten games he didn't pick up a decision while pitching to a rough 7.20 earned run average in 15 innings.
Over his four seasons as a Big Leaguer, he finished with a career 13-14 record, with a 4.53 ERA and 23 saves over 158 appearances, with two of those starts.
His finest year is easily his rookie season, when he appeared in 56 games for the Cubs in 1974, all out of the bullpen, with 10 saves and a nice 3.12 ERA over 83.2 innings of work.
