NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1978 MICKEY SCOTT

Today's blog post has a career-capping "not so missing" 1978 card for former pitcher Mickey Scott, who finished up a five-year Big League career with 12 appearances for the California Angels in 1977:


Scott went 0-2 with a 5.63 earned run average in those 12 games, throwing 16 innings out of the bullpen with five strikeouts and four base on balls.
Originally up in 1972 with the Baltimore Orioles, his finest Big League season was in 1975 which was his first year in California, when he appeared in 50 games as a reliever, going 4-2 with a 3.29 ERA over 68.1 innings, striking out 31 while saving a game.
All told, between 1972 and 1977 Scott finished with a record of 8-7 with a 3.72 ERA in 133 appearances, pitching 172 innings, saving four, with all of his action out of the bullpen.
