On 18 July 1958 (the year before), the Cincinnati Reds inducted Derringer, Johnny Vander Meer, Bucky Walters, Frank McCormick, and Ernie Lombardi as the inaugural class into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame. Derringer was the only one of the inductees who did not appear in uniform that night as it appears the Reds didn’t have a uniform that would have fit him. The others that night wore uniforms the Reds had on hand that did not reflect they numbers the necessarily wore back in the day.
Contemporary accounts list Derringer at 290 lbs in 1959. Dave Grob DaveGrob1@aol.com

Great to see that even at 100lbs over his playing weight Oom Paul could still do his trademark leg kick!
On another note it would have been nice to see what his record would have been had he had stayed with the Cardinals. He was a hell of a pitcher but was stuck with a terrible bunch or Reds teams until 1938. If he had the Medwick and those guys' bats behind him in 33-37 his stats would have been very impressive.
