Terrible Card Tuesday: 1964 Wayne Graham

Scott Veatch comes through again with another great Terrible card.  Straight from Yoakum, Texas, it’s Wayne Graham of the 1964 New York Mets.

Graham went 3 for 33 with one double in 1964 striking out five times for the Mets.

Graham’s 1964 card gets hit numbers 6-7-8-8-9.  In my opinion, he would probably be better served with three 8s and two 9s instead of the 7-8-8-9-9 combination.  He might hit too high with his current card.

Check out his fly out numbers.  First of all, he has a 25-31.  That’s the first time I’ve seen that number there.  Overall, he has twelve numbers between 30-32 inclusive.  I guess it’s logical that if a player doesn’t have many hit numbers, APBA will have to fill them up with out numbers.  It’s just strange to see results like 13-32, 42-32, 53-32, and 62-32.

Note that Graham’s error number is a 55-20.

Ugly numbers:  25-31, 15-39, 51-13

Graham was a two season player.  He went 4 for 22 in 1963 for Philly and as you can see didn’t do any better for the Mets.  After that, he was done with baseball.

thanks Scott Veatch!

I am an IT consultant by day and an APBA media mogul by night. My passions are baseball (specifically Illini baseball), photography and of course, APBA. I have been fortunate to be part of the basic game Illowa APBA League since 1980 as well as a frequent participant of the Chicagoland APBA Tournament. I am slogging through a 1966 NL replay and hope to finish before I die.
