On
the blog today, a "missing" 1972 card for former Milwaukee Brewers
pitcher John Morris, who really should have gotten a card in the monster
1972 set:
Morris,
who funny enough also got a "not quite missing" 1970 card created for
the blog just a couple weeks ago, appeared in 43 games for the Brewers
during the 1971 season, throwing a total of 67.2 innings, finishing up
with a record of 2-2 with a 3.72 ERA with one save.
That is definitely enough playing time for a pitcher to get a card in that 787 card set!
Anyway, he'd go 6-5 over the next
two years for the Brewers, used both as a starter and a reliever, before
moving on to the San Francisco Giants where he'd pitch the final three
years of his career, going a combined 2-1 out of the 'pen.
All
told, between 1966 and 1974 Morris finished with a career record of
11-7 over 132 games, with an ERA of 3.95 with two complete games and two
saves, throwing 232.1 innings.
