I have to admit when Scott Veatch sent this to me I was initially surprised. I was thinking, “Dolph Camilli was a C-6?”. But no, this is Dolph’s son Doug. The font on this 1963 card should have been a giveaway. It’s still a good Terrible Tuesday card nonetheless.
Doug Camilli hit fairly well in 1962 in limited play with a .284 batting average for the Dodgers. But in 1963 his average slid and apparently his defense didn’t improve. He hit .162 with three homers in 130 plate appearances.

| 1963 Totals | 49 | 35 | 130 | 117 | 9 | 19 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 10 | 0 | 11 | 22 | .162 | .234 | .265 |
Camilli’s .162 batting average hurts him here as well as his overall power. He gets one zero followed by four 8s and two 9s.
Once you roll that 66 though, you’re golden. Doug Camilli has twenty-one 1s in the second column including unlikely places like 23 and 46.
Ugly numbers: 11-8, 31-36, 25-14
Little bit of trivia: Baseball Reference lists Bob Uecker #1 as the most similar batter to Doug Camilli. Don’t think Doug is near as funny, though.
