Terris Chester McDuffie (May 22, 1910 – April 29, 1968) was a professional American baseball player. He was listed at 6' 1" (1.85 m), 200 lb. (91 kg).[1]
Born in Mobile, Alabama, McDuffie was a pitcher, best known as a strong-armed hurler who could challenge hitters with his live fastball. His career spanned from 1930 through 1954. He played for several teams in different leagues across the United States, Canada, and Latin America.[2][3]
His repertoire of pitches also included a sinker, slider, curveball, and a deceptive changeup. Total records are lost, but McDuffie amassed up to an estimated 200 wins throughout the baseball circuits in which he played.[4]
McDuffie was a competent hitter, baserunner, and self-promoter. He often got more attention for his handsome looks, flashy dress, gold jewelry, flamboyant behavior, and his personal life rather than for his ball playing. He was known for being a crowd-pleaser for wearing an expressive jacket with the words The Great McDuffie emblazoned on the back in large letters.[5][6]
