NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1978 RANDY McGILBERRY

Today's blog post has a 1978 "not so missing" card for former Kansas City Royals pitcher Randy McGilberry, who played in parts of two seasons in the Majors, including his Big League debut in 1977:

 
McGilberry appeared in three games for the A.L. West champ Royals, taking a loss against no wins over seven innings, pitching to a 5.14 ERA.
The following year he'd appear in 18 games, all out of the bullpen, tossing 25.2 innings and once again going 0-1, with a 4.21 ERA.
Sadly for him, though still only 24, he'd never get another chance in the Majors again, pitching two more years in the Minors for both the Kansas City and New York Mets organizations before calling it a career in 1980.
