Dettore never spent a full season in the ML. In 1975, he was 5-4 as a reliever for
the pitching-poor Cubs, but his 5.40 ERA showed his ineffectiveness in the bullpen.

FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
»September 16, 1975: Rennie Stennett ties Wilbert Robinson's ML record, set June 10, 1892, by going 7-for-7 in a 9-inning game. The Pirates 2B collects two hits each in the first and 5th innings, and scores five of his club's runs in a 22–0 massacre of the Cubs, a major-league record for the biggest score in a shut out game in the 20th century. John Candelaria pockets the easy win, while Rick Reuschel is the loser. His brother Paul Reuschel, along with Tom Dettore, Oscar Zamora, and Buddy Schultz also pitch for Chicago.
