The Worst Baseball Pitchers of All Time
The Worst Baseball Pitchers of All Time: Bad Luck, Bad Years, Bad Arms, and Just Plain Bad! was a book initially published by McFarland in 1991 and then republished with a new afterword in 1993 by Citadel Press. It was written by the father-son team of Alan S. and James C. Kaufman, SABR members who published extensively in SABR journals and other magazines such as Baseball Digest.
The book featured exclusive interviews with such pitchers as Milt Gaston, Si Johnson, Art Houtteman, Frank Hoerst, Chief Hogsett, Sid Hudson, Clay Kirby, Mike Parrott, and several others (including Hall of Famer Rollie Fingers reflecting on the worst pitcher he ever saw).
