Timeline
Charles William "Whammy" Douglas (February 17, 1935 – November 16, 2014) was an American professional baseball player.
The right-handed pitcher stood 6 ft tall and weighed 185 lb during his active career.
Douglas was able to forge a professional career despite having lost an eye at age 11.
Moreover, his blindness is what gave rise to Douglas's nickname (or at least the most enduring version thereof), his glass eye giving the appearance of an "evil eye," putting the "whammy" on opposing batters (an apparent allusion to "whammy"-wielding Hammond "Evil Eye" Fleegle, a supporting character in cartoonist Al Capp's syndicated Li'l Abner comic strip).
"Whammy (noun); Definition of whammy; Synonyms for whammy; Did You Know?".
His minor league record of 82–57 (compiled from 1953 to 1961; 1965) included a stellar season with the 1954 Brunswick Pirates of the Class D Georgia–Florida League, in which he won 27 games, lost only six and posted a 2.06 ERA.
In the months immediately preceding that season, the winter of 1953–54, Douglas earned extra money playing semi-pro basketball.
Although Douglas only played part of one season in Major League Baseball out of his ten-year pro career, he had a measure of success for the 1957 Pittsburgh Pirates, appearing in 11 games (eight as a starting pitcher), and posting a 3.26 earned run average.
In 47 innings pitched, he allowed 48 hits and 30 bases on balls, with 28 strikeouts.
That season, the pitcher also played a supporting role in what has become a famous instance of umpire-baiting by controversial manager Bobby Bragan, when, on July 31, following a disputed call favoring the visiting Milwaukee Braves, Douglas slipped into the stands to purchase the orange drink with which Bragan then confronted the umpires.
Douglas also was part of a major trade between the Pirates and the Cincinnati Reds in January 1959.
Douglas was sent to Cincinnati in a package of players headlined by Pittsburgh slugger Frank Thomas.
Douglas never appeared in an MLB game for the Reds.
