Judging by his 1934 card, it’s pretty evident that James ‘Cowboy’ Winford didn’t hit ball much.  Sure enough, in three plate appearances, the Cardinal pitcher walked twice and struck out once.

Winford’s 1934 card has a total of twenty-one 14s and ten 13s.  The only other result numbers he has are 16-12, 45-36, 53-21, 61-23, and a 65-35.

It wasn’t Cowboy’s only strangeness with walks in his career.  Two years later, Winford walked five times in 64 plate appearances.  In 1938, he walked once in two plate appearances.

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.
