Adding to my long-running "nicknames of the 1970's" thread today, and this time it's former Chicago Cubs pitcher Bill Hands, aka "Froggy", on a 1970 template to celebrate his excellent 1969 season:
The high point of his career was easily 1969 while pitching for the Chicago Cubs.
That season he teamed up with Fergie Jenkins, forming a 20-game
winning one-two punch, going 20-14 with a nice 2.49 E.R.A. while
starting 41 games, good for 300 innings on the nose.
All told, he retired with a 111-110 record and 3.35 E.R.A in 374
career games between 1965 and 1975, pitching for the Giants, Cubs, Twins
and Rangers.
