#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.

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.
ReplyDeleteOne of the rare players with a birthday of February 29th.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
