While shooting the breeze with my brother during the latest Royals drubbing we got to discussing offensive ineptness. On that subject he mentioned that Mariano Duncan once had a lower on base percentage than batting average. My first reaction was of course that this wasn't possible but then he reminded me that on base percentage is calculated by including not only walks and hit by pitch but also sacrifice hits and sacrfice flies. So here was Duncan's 1995 season with the Phillies.

The question is, has anyone been more inept? As hard to believe as it is the answer is yes.
