Been meaning to create a "dedicated" card for former Oakland A's pitcher Craig Mitchell for years now, and today here it is, a 1978 "dedicated rookie" that also serves as a "career-capper", a first for the blog:
You see, Mitchell was on three
straight multi-player rookie cards between 1976 and 1978, and rightfully
so to be honest, as he appeared in 1,1 and 2 games respectively in each
season between 1975 and 1977.
But since I came across a nice
image of him I figured let's give the guy his own card and celebrate the
five games he appeared in during his Big League career!
All told, Mitchell finished 0-2 over those five games, throwing 12.2 innings and posting a 7.82 earned run average with three strikeouts and four walks, all with the Oakland A's.
