NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1971 CISCO CARLOS

Today the blog offers up a career-capping “not so missing” 1971 card for former pitcher Cisco Carlos, who played the last of his Big League games during the 1970 season with the Washington Senators:


Carlos, who began his career with the Chicago White Sox in 1967, appeared in only five games for Washington in 1970, not factoring in a decisions but pitching very well, to the tune of a 1.50 earned run average over six innings of work.
Over his four seasons under the Big League sun, Carlos was mainly an arm out of the ‘pen, though in 1968 he did start 21 of his 29 appearances, going 4-14 with a 3.90 ERA over 122.1 innings, by far the most action he ever saw in any one year.
All told, even though he’d pitch another four years in the Minors, he’d never get another chance at the Majors, so he finished his career with a record of 11-18, with an ERA at 4.25 over 73 appearances and 237 innings pitched.
