NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1978 TOMMY TOMS

Today the blog offers up a “not so missing” 1978 card for former San Francisco Giants pitcher Tommy Toms, who appeared in what was the last of his Big League games during the 1977 season:


Toms had a brief three year Major League career spanning 1975-1977, each year ending up with an identical 0-1 record over 18 appearances for the Giants.
For 1977, he finished with a nice 2.08 earned run average over 4.1 innings in four appearances, all out of the bullpen at the age of 25.
Sadly for him however, he would go on to spend all of 1978 in the Minor Leagues in three different organizations: Cardinals, Orioles and Rangers, before calling it a career.
All told, Toms finished with a career 0-3 record over the aforementioned 18 games, with a 5.40 ERA in 23.1 innings pitched, all in relief.
