NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1979 MIKE DAVEY

Today we have a “not so missing” 1979 card for former Atlanta Braves pitcher Mike Davey, who played the last handful of Big League games of his brief two-year career in 1978:

Davey appeared in three games for the Braves, throwing 2.2 innings of scoreless ball while not factoring in a decision, giving up only one hit while issuing a single walk.
The previous season he played the first 16 games of his Major League career, again not factoring in a decision while pitching to a 5.06 ERA over 16 innings, striking out seven while giving up 19 hits and nine base on balls, picking up two saves.
He’d go on to pitch another two seasons in the Minor Leagues for the Seattle and Pittsburgh organizations in 1979 and 1980, but would ever make it back to a Big League mound before retiring after going 1-0 for the Portland Beavers over 21 appearances, making one start.

NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1978 MIKE DAVEY

Today we have a “not so missing” 1978 card for former pitcher Mike Davey, who made his Major League debut during the 1977 season with the Atlanta Braves:

Davey appeared in 16 games, throwing 16 innings and going without a decision while sporting and ERA of 5.06 with two saves, all out of the bullpen.
The following season he’d appear in three games, again all in relief, tossing 2.2 innings without an earned run, not factoring in a decision.
Sadly for him he’d never make it back to a Big League mound, playing out the next two years in the Minor Leagues with Seattle and Pittsburgh before retiring as an active player after the 1980 season.
All told, Davey finished up with a 4.34 ERA over 19 appearances and 18.2 innings pitched, collecting two saves and striking out seven without a decision.
