NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1974 TOM DETTORE

Up on the blog today, we have a "not so missing" 1974 card for former pitcher Tom Dettore, who made his MLB debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1973:


Dettore appeared in 12 games for Pittsburgh in 1973, going 0-1 with a 5.96 earned run average over 22.2 innings of work.
He'd be traded during the off-season to the Chicago Cubs for Paul Popovich and play out what was the remaining three years of his career with the organization.
He'd go 3-5 in 1974 and 5-4 in 1975 before appearing in only four games in 1976, his last year in the Big Leagues.
All told, he'd finish his career with a record of 8-10 over 56 appearances, with 15 starts, throwing 179.2 innings and posting an ERA of 5.21.
