#261 Steve Mingori 

Bullpen employment  throughout career…Coming off a career year with a stingy 1.46 ERA….few of the 1971 Cleveland Indians crew can claim that…Steve’s 1972 resulted in an 0-6 record, a near tripling of this ERA, but led the team with 10 saves…a poor start in 1973 resulted in a trade to his native Kansas City...nice addition….a contributor but never became the top closer….as a Royal was generally consistent with ERA clustering around 2-3 runs a game…career ended in 1979 after ERA ballooned to 5.79….died at age 64 in 2009.

  1. Your stats are always a little off what is on the back of the card. ERA 1.42 as opposed to 1.46. Otherwise good blog.

  2. One of the rare players with a birthday of February 29th.

    1. I knew a guy in high school who was born on 2/29/60, he turned out to be the HS heavyweight wrestling champion in 1978, so you didn't tease him about that too much.
