REVISITING A "MISSING" 1978 CARD FOR PAUL SIEBERT

Time to go and revisit a "missing" 1978 card for former New York Mets pitcher Paul Siebert, originally on the blog in October of 2015:

Siebert appeared in 25 games with the Mets after coming over from the San Diego Padres during the season.
He posted a 2-1 record (all with the Mets), with a 3.69 earned run average over 29 games and 31.2 innings of work.
In his short five-year career he went on to post a 3-8 record with a 3.77 ERA and 59 strikeouts over 129 innings and 87 appearances.
Keep an eye out for his “missing” 1979 card in the near future as well!

 

NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1977 PAUL SIEBERT

Up on the blog today, we have a 1977 "not so missing" card for former Houston Astros pitcher Paul Siebert, who was coming off his third Big League season when this card would have seen the light of day:

 

Siebert pitched well for the Astros in 1976 in limited play, appearing in 19 games out of the bullpen and going 0-2 with a decent 3.16 earned run average over 25.2 innings.

The following year he'd find himself starting the season with the San Diego Padres before finding himself traded to the New York Mets in June as part of the (in)famous Dave Kingman trade.

Combined he'd go 2-1 over 29 appearances that season, with an ERA of 3.69 in 31.2 innings, again all out of the bullpen.

Siebert then appeared in 27 games for the Mets during the 1978 season, posting an 0-2 record with a 5.14 earned run average with a single save over 28 innings of work.

The 1978 season would be the last taste of big league ball for Siebert, closing out a five year career that saw him go 3-8 with a 3.77 ERA over 87 games and 129 innings pitching for the Houston Astros, San Diego Padres and Mets.

NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1976 PAUL SIEBERT

Today we have a “not so missing” 1976 card for former Houston Astros pitcher Paul Siebert, who had a spot on a 1975 Topps rookie card but was left out the following year’s set:

Siebert only appeared in seven games for Houston during the 1975 season, performing very well though, going 0-2 but with an earned run average of 2.95 over 18.1 innings of work, even picking up a couple of saves.
He would go on to play another three years in the Major Leagues, with Houston, the San Diego Padres and finally with the New York Mets, never really more than an arm out of the bullpen, ending up with a Big League record of 3-8 and an ERA of 3.77 over 87 appearances and 129 innings pitched, along with three saves and a complete game.

MISSING IN ACTION- 1979 PAUL SIEBERT

Admittedly, I am pushing it with today’s “missing” player, but I did find a really good Topps photo to use so I created one anyway: a 1979 Paul Siebert of the New York Mets:

Siebert appeared in 27 games for the Mets during the 1978 season, posting an 0-2 record with a 5.14 earned run average with a single save over 28 innings of work.
Those numbers mirror his previous season’s work in 1977, for which I created a “missing” 1978 card not too long ago.
The 1978 season would be the last taste of big league ball for Siebert, closing out a five year career that saw him go 3-8 with a 3.77 ERA over 87 games and 129 innings pitching for the Houston Astros, Sand Diego Padres and Mets.

MISSING IN ACTION- 1978 PAUL SIEBERT

It feels like I’ve done quite a few “missing” New York Mets hasn’t it?
Well here’s another, former pitcher Paul Siebert, and a “missing” 1978 card.
Take a look:

Siebert appeared in 25 games with the Mets after coming over from the San Diego Padres during the season.
He posted a 2-1 record (all with the Mets), with a 3.69 earned run average over 29 games and 31.2 innings of work.
In his short five-year career he went on to post a 3-8 record with a 3.77 ERA and 59 strikeouts over 129 innings and 87 appearances.
Keep an eye out for his “missing” 1979 card in the near future as well!
