1958 Back-O'-The-Card: Ryne Duren

"Before the Yankees acquired him from Kansas City, Ryne's bases on balls totals were alarmingly high. But after a season at Denver in 1957, where Lefty O'Doul coached him on control, he sharply cut down on his walks.
Hitters are afraid to dig in against this hard-throwing righty."
