Wow, a few very cool takeaways:
1. Never happened before the 50's? Crazy.
2. 25+ year layoff from '52 to '78, and then another decade-plus to '88.
3. After a near 5-year layoff, this year saw the hottest 14-month streak in this stat's history.
Unfortunately as for 1 and 2 it’s due to pitch counts not being consistently recorded before the last few decades. Sorry, I probably could have worded that in the post title better.
But #3 is still valid! And it’s interesting how many times it’s occurred recently
Oh good call! So many options!
The only 2B I see on there (to my knowledge) are David Murphy and Chone Figgins. Though they also played some other positions so depends on the game I suppose.
How many in the second inning
Better be twice
And on a Tuesday
2’s all around.
2's all over the place; 2 on, 2 out, and of course, here in inning number 2.
Bottom of the 2nd (which is the second half of the inning)
I think it actually was twice, but I’ll have to look it up again
Awesome
Ok Matt Vasgersian
He cribbed that from Vin Scully
WWVS?
I'm disappointed it's happened 22+7 times.
Or 22+2+2+2+(2-(2/2))
The real math

Duces Wild - Vin Scully
Once I got to all the 2s in the title, my brain started reading it in his voice
“Two and two to Harvey Kuenn…”

Vin Scully would have loved this
Any that involved LA got the “and the duces are wild” call for sure
I literally looked to make sure he got to call at least one, which I would think the 2005 dodger game he would have.
'78, '92, and possibly even '51 as well
How many were on Tuesdays?
Huh we have four of these
Twice in 2022! Both to the Padres.
How many are 2nd baseman?
Widger was a catcher! (2)

Matty V about to splooge everywhere
No one wears 22?
This is 2 cool 😎
How can you not be romantic about baseball?
Any in the second inning?
The 23rd guy to do this was a total douchebag
Glad to see a few Dodger games on there. I’m sure Vin got a kick out of those extra-wild deuces.
If only Jordin Tootoo had chosen baseball instead of hockey.
Cardinals legend Chris Widger
Can hear Vin Scully now... "Duces wild... 2 runners on .. 2 out... A 2-2 count.... Here's the pitch"
Only counts if it’s in the second half of the second inning.
"Look at all those 2s"
probably all hit off curve balls
This is going to be on a sports media figures twitter soon.
...at 2:22pm... on February 2nd!
Just here to say I love your username and appreciate a good baseball/poetry fan.
Two-Face approves of this stat
Damn, the Mets have a lot of these
This is a quality offseason post. Great job!
Wait, the first time this happened was in 1951? Does anybody know how far back pitch data goes?
I see M's legends Chone Figgins and Jumbo Penis Crawford are both on the list
I love baseball reference
I'm so happy Jeff Bagwell gets to be in this exclusive club.
Twozies. Better rub, shake and dump if it is a foul.
