Darrell G "Bucky" Brandon (born July 8, 1940), is an American former professional baseball right-handed pitcher, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Boston Red Sox, Seattle Pilots, Minnesota Twins and Philadelphia Phillies. During a seven-year MLB career, Brandon compiled 28 wins, 354 strikeouts, and a 4.04 earned run average (ERA).
Brandon attended Nacogdoches High School in Texas and was signed as a free agent in 1959 by the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Once a heralded pitching prospect, Brandon was an undistinguished reliever throughout most of his career. In 1966, his rookie season, he made 40 appearances (17 starts) for Boston and finished 8–8 with a 3.31 ERA, a career-high 101 strikeouts, five complete games and two shutouts.[1] On July 20, 1966, Brandon tossed a complete game, allowing one earned run on just two hits in a win over the California Angels.[2] However, Brandon developed arm problems at this early stage of his career and slumped to a 5–11 record in 1967, then pitched only 12+2⁄3 innings in 1968.[1] A year later, he divided his playing time between the expansion Seattle Pilots and Minnesota, and then spent the entire 1970 season with the Triple-A Tucson Toros, in the Chicago White Sox farm system. From 1971 to 1973, Brandon collected 15 wins and eight saves for the Phillies, as a reliever and spot starter.[1]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
