NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1976 FRED BEENE

Up on the blog today we have a “not so missing” 1976 card for former pitcher Fred Beene, who closed out his seven-year Big League career with 19 games with the Cleveland Indians in 1975:


Beene went 1-0 for the Tribe during the 1975 campaign, with a bloated 6.94 ERA over 46.2 innings of work with one start and a save thrown in.
His finest season would be 1973 while with the New York Yankees when he went 6-0 out of the bullpen with a sparkling 1.68 ERA over 91 innings, with a save and four spot starts sprinkled in.
By the time he finished his Big League career, he ended up 12-7, with an ERA of 3.63 over 112 appearances and 288 innings of work, with eight saves and six starts along the way between 1968 and 1975.
