A DO-OVER OF ONE OF MY OWN: 1975 JESUS HERNAIZ

On the blog today, I am giving myself a do-over of an earlier "missing" 1975 card I created for the blog, one for former Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Jesus Hernaiz:

 

 

Originally posted up here around five years ago, the original image I used was a bit sub-par, so when I found this Topps image, I figured it would be a good time to "fix" it.

In his one season in the big leagues, Hernaiz posted a 2-3 record with a 5.88 earned run average over 27 games and 41.1 innings pitched during the 1974 season, never to appear in another game at the top level again.

He did put in about 15 years in professional ball, from the Minors to the Mexican League, pitching through the 1983 season, but that brief glory in the Summer of 1974 would be it as far as any MLB time.

 

 

MISSING IN ACTION- 1975 JESUS HERNAIZ

Here’s a card for a guy that put in one solitary season in the Major Leagues, Jesus Hernaiz, who pitched for the Philadelphia Phillies in 1974:

Sorry for the image I used. Falls short of my usual standards. However I really could not find a better photo of the guy anywhere!
In his one shot at the big leagues, Hernaiz posted a 2-3 record with a 5.88 earned run average over 27 games and 41.1 innings pitched, never to appear in another game at the top level again.
I tell you, it was tough finding a useful image to use for this card, and the one I did find wasn’t that good a shot, but through the magic of Photoshop I did the best I could to make it happen.
Hernaiz isn’t exactly a “Not Quite Missing in Action” player, but it was fun creating a card for a player who made such a brief appearance in the long history MLB.
