CAREER-CAPPING NOT SO MISSING IN ACTION- 1973 TOM DUKES

Here’s a 1973 card for former pitcher Tom Dukes, who finished up a six-year career in 1972, appearing in seven games with the California Angels:


Dukes posted a record of 0-1 for the Angels, with a sparkling 1.64 earned run average over 11 innings pitched with eight strikeouts and nary a walk.
But that would be it for the 29 year-old pitcher in the Big Leagues, after coming up with the Houston Astros in 1967 he’d end up going 5-16 over his career, appearing in 161 games with 22 saves and an ERA of 4.35, all out of the bullpen for Houston, San Diego padres, Baltimore Orioles and Angels.
