NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1977 JIM YORK

Up on the blog today, we have a career-capping “not so missing” 1977 card for former pitcher Jim York, who played in a handful of games for the New York Yankees during the 1976 season:


York, who was coming off four straight seasons pitching for the Houston Astros, appeared in only three games for the Yankees in 1976, going 1-0 and pitching to a 5.59 earned run average in 9.2 innings of work.
York put in seven years in the Big Leagues, appearing in 174 games and throwing 285 innings, all but four appearances out of the bullpen.
Over that time he finished with a career 16-17 record, with an ERA of 3.79 and 10 saves pitching for the Kansas City Royals, Astros and those three games with the New York Yankees.
