Default It takes all kinds of records.

Dolly Gray pitched well enough in the PCL to be a member of that league's Hall of Fame. But when he reached MLB he was not effective. A 15-51 record in three MLB seasons reflects his inability to shine, although he did throw the first pitch at Washington's Griffith Stadium. He was able, however, to find some fertile ground for record setting. In 1909, his 30-year old rookie season, he attacked the record books relying on something he was very good at -- missing the plate. He set the record for most walks in an inning (8) and most consecutive walks in an inning (7). Both records still stand.
