The Man Everyone is Talking About and the Play That Makes Them Laugh

The weather is beautiful and the smell of fresh cut grass lingers in the air, well it must be baseball season again, ladies and gentlemen. The time of year to sit outside in the sun and enjoy America’s favorite pastime and what better way to enjoy it than by watching our beloved Oregon Ducks take the field.

The Ducks recently went against UC Riverside on Wednesday where they walked away with the win. But no one gathered quite as much attention as junior Josh Graham. He finished the game with a career high, he was 3-for-5 with six RBIs and a run scored in the third inning with a grand slam – his second career slam. So far this year he is 3-for-7 (.429) with double at the plate and also throwing 3-2/3 scoreless innings with no hits and five strikeouts.

 Graham is an Oregon native and better known for his role as catcher. What’s that old saying? “Once a catcher always a catcher” — well, in the case of Josh Graham that couldn’t be any less true. At the NMSU game while on the mound in the eighth, he caught a pop-up – but not before he flips his hat off in true catcher form.

As tweeted by Oregon Duck Baseball.


Just goes to show you that Graham isn’t all serious all the time and to show you how funny he can be, you can see his version of that life-altering time when he signed with Oregon. This Duck has a little comedian in him.

What can we expect from Josh Graham next? Hang loose, my friends — it could be a very entertaining ride.

New 2024 FishDuck Publishing Schedule….

During the off-season the FishDuck.com publishing schedule will consist of articles on Mondays and Tuesdays. Do keep checking as new articles could be published during the week when a writer has something to say.

In mid-August of 2024, we will go back to the seven-days-a-week of articles during the football season as we did in the football season of 2023.

The Our Beloved Ducks Forum (OBD) is where we we discuss the article above and many more topics, as it is so much easier in a message board format over there.  At the free OBD forum we will be posting Oregon Sports article links, the daily Press Releases from the Athletic Department and the news coming out every day.

Our 33 rules at the free OBD Forum can be summarized to this: 1) be polite and respectful, 2) do not tell anyone what to think, feel or write, and 3) no reference of any kind to politics. Easy-peasy!

OBD Forum members….we got your back.  No Trolls Allowed!
