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.
