I see Madison Bumgarner made four pinch-hit appearences this season.
I love a pitcher who can hit.
 It's one reason to prefer the NL over the AL.
Hell, he had a better OPS than the starting shortstop. -- Mal

2. You must have hated it when Greg Maddux stole bases, then.

I guess coming from an era before free agency, I have a more cavalier attitude towards risking injury.
I like a guy who comes to play ball.
Hell, Michael Vick threw a block for his running back in the last game. It almost makes up for him torturing dogs. -- Mal |

A few pitchers have had years where they did some pinch-hitting. There was this fellow named Ruth, I believe...
Smokey Joe Wood also pinch-hit. As Bill James pointed out, if baseball was 90% pitching (or whatever), they never would have been moved to the outfield. Although Wood hurt his arm. -- Mal |

5. Hoyt Wilhelm, at the age of 28, hit a home run in his first at bat. He never hit another one.
