The travels continue as I explore the worst pitchers I ever saw in a Red Sox uniform. Statistically, they may have had others who simply were more atrocious on the atrocious scale, but there is something that sets these special inductees apart. Maybe it was style? Maybe the fact that every time I saw them something bad was in the works?
The Red Sox have an extensive list to draw candidates from and I will avoid going into the history of the team – especially the 1920s. From the mid-1950s on a cornucopia of dysfunctional pitching exists. Fortunately, as the Red Sox become more competitive a weaning process takes place where incompetence usually results in a quick exit from the roster.
