NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1979 TERRY CORNUTT

Fun card to add to the 1979 stable, a Terry Cornutt “not so missing” creation for his brief, and I mean very brief, tenure as a Major League pitcher in the decade’s last season:

Cornutt, who made his Big League debut the previous year with 28 games and 44.1 innings pitched for the Giants, appeared in only one game during the 1978 season, pitching a total of three innings on September 15th, a successful scoreless appearance against the Cincinnati Reds.
Sadly for him that would be it though as far as his MLB career, as he would go on to play the next two years in the Minors but never getting a chance to make it back to a Big League mound again.
In his brief two-year career, Cornutt finished with a record of 1-2, with an earned run average of 3.61 over 29 games and 47.1 innings pitched, all but one of those games out of the bullpen.

MISSING IN ACTION- 1978 TERRY CORNUTT

Let's go and give former pitcher Terry Cornutt a "missing" 1978 card.

Take a look at the card I whipped up:

Cornutt appeared in 28 games for the Giants in 1977, posting a 1-2 record with 23 strikeouts and a 3.86 earned run average over 44.1 innings of work.

Except for a single solitary appearance in 1978, that would be the entirety of his Major League career.

Curious as to why he never made it back up to the "big show", as he put in a few more decent seasons in the minor leagues until 1980 for the Giants organization out of the 'pen.
