NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1974 CHARLIE WILLIAMS

Up on the blog today we have a "not so missing" 1974 card for former pitcher Charlie Williams of the San Francisco Giants:

Willaims appeared in 12 games for the Giants during the 1973 season, going 3-0 with an earned run average of 6.65 over 23 innings of work.

Turns out he would end up pitching seven years for the Giants after starting out his Big League career with a rookie year with the New York Mets, eventually being famously traded along with $50,000 for Willie Mays in May of 1972.

He'd be used generally as an arm out of the bullpen with some solid years in the middle of the decade.
By the time he retired after the 1978 season at the age of 30, he finished his Big League career with a record of 23-22 over 268 appearances, with an ERA of 3.97 with four saves in 573.1 innings.

 

NOT REALLY MISSING IN ACTION- 1973 CHARLIE WILLIAMS

On the blog to start off the new week is a “not so missing” 1973 card for former pitcher Charlie Williams, the man that was traded by the New York Mets for Willie Mays:

Williams didn’t have such a great season for the Giants in 1972, appearing in only three games and going 0-2 with a dreadful 8.68 earned run average over 9.1 innings.
His 1973 season wasn’t all that much better, even though he did post a record of 3-0 over 12 appearances, with a slightly “better” ERA of 6.65 over 23 innings of work.
Turns out he would end up pitching seven years for the Giants after that one year in Flushing, generally an arm out of the bullpen with some solid years in the middle of the decade.
By the time he retired after the 1978 season at the age of 30, he finished his Big League career with a record of 23-22 over 268 appearances, with an ERA of 3.97 with four saves in 573.1 innings.
