NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1975 CHUCK SEELBACH

Up on the blog today, a " not so missing" 1975 card for former Detroit Tigers pitcher Chuck Seelbach, who turns out played the last of his Big League games during the 1974 season:

 
Seelbach, who originally came up to the Majors in 1971 with Detroit, appeared in four games for the Tigers in 1974, not factoring in a decision while posting an ERA of 4.70 over 7.2 innings.
Over his four Major League seasons, the only significant time he had was in 1972 when he appeared in 61 games, starting three, saving 14 games while posting a very nice 2.89 ERA in 112 innings.
Sadly for him however, shoulder injuries soon followed resulting in 1973 and 1974 having him appear in only nine combined games, going 1-0 with an ERA around 4.00 over just 14.2 innings.
And just like that his Big League career was over.
His four years as a pitcher resulted in a career 10-8 record, with a 3.38 ERA over 75 games, with 14 saves and 130.2 innings pitched.
