Anyone Seen A Ducky Wucky Bar?

[jerseygary]

I've been a Joe Medwick fan for years and have been wanting to do an illustration of him with Houston for my website. I haven't done so because I have been waiting to see if a Ducky-Wucky wrapper ever surfaces - I want to do the illustration with him holding one up. I check on line every so often for one but have never came across it, maybe now that Net54 is on the case one will surface.

Talking about Joe leaving Houston...

"A glorious way to leave town, a big bouquet for the departing hero? Not exactly. According to Medwick's recollection, there were thorns among the roses. "I was so damn angry," he said. "They used to give you a traveling bag or some damn thing when you leave the city. They didn't give me nothing. And then the fellow who had the candy bars wanted me to leave them there and I said, "Hell no!" And they had to take all the wrappings off the bars. We had an agreement that if I left [Houston], they couldn't sell them.

The comical picture of all those Ducky Wucky bars without wrappings made me want to laugh out loud, but I knew better than to test the Medwick temper."

So, fellas...good luck in your quest...probably not going to find any wrappers...but maybe there is a hoard of them somewhere...who knows?

Being a big Joe Medwick fan and still dying to see one of these, thought I'd give it a bump...
