Up on the blog today, a 1972 "not so missing" card for one-year Big League pitcher Jack Whillock of the Detroit Tigers:
The
28-year-old appeared in what was the entirety of his career during the
Summer of 1971, seven games total, going 0-2 with a 5.63 earned run
average in eight innings of work.
Sadly for him he wouldn't
make it back to a Big League mound again, toiling another three years in
the Minors before calling it quits after the 1974 season, when he
played in the Cleveland Indians system.
All told he put in 11
years as a pro, originally in the St. Louis Cardinals organization in
1964, but alas a Major Leaguer for just those seven games in August and
September of 1971.
