NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1973 DAVE SELLS

Up on the blog today we have a “not so missing” 1973 card for former California Angels pitcher Dave Sells, who made his Big League debut during the 1972 season:

Sells had a nice first taste of the Majors, going 2-0 with a 2.81 earned run average over 10 appearances and 16 innings of work.
He’d go 7-2 in 1973 with a 3.71 ERA over 51 appearances, including 10 saves over 68 innings pitched, all which would end up being career highs.
He would pitch another two seasons in the Big Leagues, going a combined 2-5 with both the Angels and five games with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1975, which would end up being the last of his career.
All told he finished his time in the Majors with a record of 11-7, posting an ERA of 3.90 over 90 appearances and 138.1 innings pitched, with 12 saves.

MISSING IN ACTION: 1975 DAVE SELLS

Here’s a “missing” 1975 card for former Angels pitcher Dave Sells:

Sells appeared in 20 games for the Halo’s during the 1974 season, posting a 2-3 record with a 3.69 earned run average with a couple of saves over  39 innings of work.
Turns out the 1975 season would be his last as a Major League hurler, splitting time between California and the Los Angeles Dodgers, ending up 0-2 with a 6.46 ERA over nine appearances.
For his 4-year career he ended up with an 11-7 record, with a 3.90 ERA and 12 saves in 90 appearances and 138.1 innings pitched.
