On the blog today, we have a “not so missing” 1975 card for former pitcher Steve Dunning, who already has had a FEW creations here on the blog over the years:
Dunning appeared in only one single game during the 1974 season,
throwing 2.1 innings for the Texas Rangers and getting hit hard, to the
tune of a 19.29 ERA.
He would spend all of 1975 in the Chicago White Sox organization,
putting up a nice season with a 15-9 record along with a 3.49 ERA and
three shutouts.
That would get him a Big League return in 1976, splitting the year
between the California Angels and Montreal Expos, going 2-6 over 36
appearances, with a 4.35 ERA.
All told, Dunning put together a seven-year MLB career between 1970 and
1977, finishing up with a record of 23-41 with an ERA of 4.56 in 136
appearances, 84 of them starts, pitching 613.2 innings with a save and a
shutout thrown in.
