Today
 we have on the blog a “not so missing” 1971 card for former Pittsburgh 
Pirates pitcher Lou marone, who threw the last of his MLB innings during
 the 1970 season:
Marone appeared in only one game for the Pirates in 1970, pitching 2.1 
innings and giving up a run, good for an earned run average of 3.86.
In 1969 he had a very nice debut, posting an ERA of 2.55 over 35.1 
innings and 29 appearances, going 1-1 with 25 strikeouts against 13 
walks.
He’d go on to pitch two more seasons in the Pirates Minor League system 
through 1972, but never make it back to a Major League mound again, 
finishing up with 30 appearances and that 1-1 record from 1969, with a 
very nice 2.63 ERA.
