This one’s going to be a quickie since I’m running out of time this week but it’s well deserved. Scott Veatch had recommended 1963 Jim Duckworth as a Terrible Card for a while but I resisted since, you know, he’s a pitcher after all. There are plenty of DWs out there.
Tonight in Game 5 of my Monsters vs. Terribles series, Duckworth made his second start against 1913 Walter Johnson and The Big Train had the Terribles on the ropes. Early in the game, I rolled a 45 on Ducky and thought “Great, the Terribles have a baserunner.”
Nope, Duckworth has a 45-13 there. Really? And that came right after rolling a 66-8 on Jackie Hernanadez.
And for the record, 1963 Jim Duckworth really did deserve that DW.
