On the blog today, we post up a 1970 "not quite" missing in action card for former Seattle Pilots pitcher John Morris:
Morris
appeared in only six games for the Pilots in their lone season of 1969,
though he did stick around with the organization for two more years
after they moved to Milwaukee, becoming the Brewers.
In his
1969 season, Morris didn't pick up a decision, pitching to a bloated
6.39 earned run average over 12.2 innings, allowing 10 earned runs while
striking out eight, walking eight.
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.
