NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1970 PHIL HENNIGAN

Up on the blog today, we have a "not so missing" 1970 card for former pitcher Phil Hennigan, who made his MLB debut in 1969 as a member of the Cleveland Indians:

 

Hennigan was a 23-year-old when he appeared in nine games for the Tribe in 1969, going 2-1 with a 3.31 earned run average over 16.1 innings of work.

He would go on to play four seasons with the Indians, generally out of the bullpen, before one last hurrah in 1973 as a member of the National League champion New York Mets.

All told, in his five years under the Big League sun, Hennigan finished with a record of 17-14 over 176 games, posting an ERA of 4.26 in 280.2 innings, with 26 saves and 188 strikeouts.

Not a bad little career at that.

MISSING IN ACTION- 1974 PHIL HENNIGAN

Today I serve up yet another ?missing” New York Mets player. This time it’s former pitcher Phil Hennigan on a 1974 edition:

Hennigan actually pitched the last of his Major League games in 1973 for the National League champs, appearing in 30 games on the mound, going 0-4 with a 6.23 earned run average.
He pitched 43.1 innings, purely in relief and posted three saves along the way, with 22 K’s to close out a five-year career that saw him play for the Cleveland Indians between 1969-1972, the that final season over at Shea Stadium in 1973.
He finished with a 17-14 record, with a 4.26 ERA and 188 strikeouts over 280 innings and 176 games, all but two out of the ‘pen.
