NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1970 JOHN MORRIS

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.
