Ducky was the Cardinals first bonus baby and sat for two years on their bench doing little with no experience. Was thrown out of a game before ever appearing in one when he threw a towel at Augie Donatelli at the direction of Eddie Stanky. It was his only career ejection. Was on deck when Musial got hit 3000. Played behind Groat in Pittsburgh until Groat went to St Louis in 1963. Returned to St Louis in 1968 when they won the NL pennant
