Here is the 2nd and final card for Cubs’ pitcher Sterling Slaughter. He previously appeared on a Cubs Rookies card in the 1964 set.
After pitching for Arizona State University, Slaughter was signed by the Cubs in 1963. He played only 1 season in the minors, then made the Cubs’ squad in 1964, pitching 20 games (including 6 starts).
For some reason, he also pitched 14 games in the Arizona Instructional League that year, but never made it back to the majors. This card (unintentionally) includes his complete major-league stats.
Sterling pitched for the Cubs’ AA and AAA teams from 1965-1967 before hanging up his glove.

It also has the uncorrected error of the batting stat template.
Thanks! I was looking at his stats to see that he only had the 1 MLB season, but I didn't notice the headings error.
The columns should be: G, IP, W, L, PCT, SO, BB, ERA.
