Today
we have a “not so missing” 1977 card for former Montreal Expos pitcher
Larry Landreth, who spent parts of two years in the Major Leagues:
Landreth’s total time in the Big Leagues was only seven appearances over
those two years, including three games in 1976, the first of his
career, all starts, seeing him go 1-2 with an earned run average of 4.09
over 11 innings.
In 1977 he made four appearances, this time going 0-2 with a bloated
9.64 ERA in 9.1 innings, in what turned out to be the last of his
career.
He’d stick around the Minors over the following two seasons, but could
never make it back to the Majors again, finishing up with a career 1-4
record, with an ERA at 6.64 over seven appearances and 20.1 innings
pitched.
