Here’s
 a “career-capping” 1971 card for former Milwaukee Brewers pitcher 
George Lauzerique, born in Cuba but a graduate of George Washington High
 School in New York City, the same high school that gave us Manny 
Ramirez and Rod Carew:
Lauzerique played the first three seasons of his Major League career 
with the team that drafted him, the Kansas City/Oakland A’s between 1967
 and 1969.
In 1970 he was part of the trade that brought the A’s soon to be ERA 
champ Diego Segui, with Lauzerique appearing in what would be the final 
eleven games of his Major League career.
Over those 11 games, four of them were starts, and he’d finish with a record of 1-2 with a 6.94 ERA in 35 innings pitched.
He would spend the 1971 season in the Minor Leagues, playing for both 
the St. Louis and Minnesota organizations, before falling completely off
 the radar for three years.
He’d be back in pro ball in 1975 and 1976, playing for the Houston 
Astros system, generally as a reliever, before bowing out of the game 
for good.
