NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1972 DENNIS O'TOOLE

On the blog today is a “not so missing” 1972 card for a man who had an interesting Major League career, former pitcher Dennis O’Toole, who put in parts of five seasons under the Big League sun yet never had a decision:


O’Toole, who was the younger brother of another MLB pitcher, former Cincinnati hurler Jim, appeared in one single game during the 1971 season, pitching two innings of scoreless ball for the Chicago White Sox with two strikeouts.
That 1971 season was the middle-year of his five year tenure in the Bigs, as he would appear in 15 games between 1969 and 1973, all for the White Sox, pitching 30.1 innings, yet never factor in a decision.
After two seasons in the Minors in 1974 and 1975 he called it a career, finishing up with no decisions and a 5.04 ERA over those 15 games, striking out 22 batters while walking 10.
