NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION: 1972 FRANK BROSSEAU

On the blog today, we have my 1972 "not so missing" card for pitcher Frank Brosseau of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who appeared in a single game during the 1971 championship season:


Brosseau appeared in one game that year, pitching two innings of relief and not allowing a run on one hit, with no walks or strikeouts.
It was his first taste of the Big Leagues since his debut in 1969 when he appeared in two games for the Pirates, tossing an inning and two-thirds and giving up two runs on two hits for a bloated 10.80 ERA.
Those three games made up the entirety of his Major League career as well as professional career, as there is not a record of him appearing in a Minor League game after the 1971 season.
So for his MLB career: three games, no record and a 4.91 ERA over 3.2 innings, with two strikeouts and two walks.
