Who was Ryne Duren?
Rinold George "Ryne" Duren was an American relief pitcher in Major League Baseball.
He was known for the combination of his blazing fastball and his very poor vision. With his thick coke bottle glasses, few batters dared to dig in against Duren. Casey Stengel said, "I would not admire hitting against Ryne Duren, because if he ever hit you in the head you might be in the past tense."
