Fun
card to add to the 1979 stable, a Terry Cornutt “not so missing”
creation for his brief, and I mean very brief, tenure as a Major League
pitcher in the decade’s last season:
Cornutt, who made his Big League debut the previous year with 28 games
and 44.1 innings pitched for the Giants, appeared in only one game
during the 1978 season, pitching a total of three innings on September
15th, a successful scoreless appearance against the Cincinnati Reds.
Sadly for him that would be it though as far as his MLB career, as he
would go on to play the next two years in the Minors but never getting a
chance to make it back to a Big League mound again.
In his brief two-year career, Cornutt finished with a record of 1-2,
with an earned run average of 3.61 over 29 games and 47.1 innings
pitched, all but one of those games out of the bullpen.
