Thanks for the lecture on “the problem with lists,” Bill. I guess my list didn’t include everyone in MLB history that hit at least .264 as a pinch-hitter.

I learn things from You People™ every day, and it's great. Today, it was about the pinch-hitting prowess of CLIFF Johnson. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more archetypal 1970s professional hitter; truly one of the great PH guys of his day.
Check the PH splits: 20 HR, .876 OPS!
It *should* be obvious when you think about it, but it's still eye-opening to see the profound differences between NL pinch-hitters and AL pinch-hitters historically. The full-time pinch-hitter is long extinct, but even under universal AL rules, pinch-hitter usage is in decline.

@FWDBaseball@notgaetti This is paraphrasing an old Hollywood joke about the career arc of an actor - but it was the first thing that popped into my head:
- Who's Rusty Staub?
- Get me an older Rusty Staub
- Get me Rusty Staub
- Get me a younger Rusty Staub
- Who's Rusty Staub?
It’s fine folks, he has positive WAR
Nothing to see here
(Although yesterday’s 0-4 performance did drop his lifetime average down one more tick to a mind-numbing .195 across parts of 10 seasons in the big leagues)

My top Mike Trout landing spots:
Baltimore. An all-time great veteran hitter playing a corner OF spot for a young and exciting team. Love this recipe. There's pennants in them hills.
Philadelphia. His own favorite team growing up. Can't be rolling Schwarber and Castellanos out…

To prepare for his role in The Naked Gun (Paramount, 1988), actor Jay Johnstone played 23 years of professional baseball with 8 organizations.
The role as Seattle’s leadoff hitter was especially demanding as Johnstone, a left-handed hitter, had to bat right-handed for the film.

I bet this was awesome. Kelley is a great baseball mind and I’m sure her presentation on MLB rivalries is must-see. And look who’s up on the screen!

JV and Mad Max are both certain HOF’ers. Do they have the counting stats of the guys of previous generations? No. But they were just as dominant against their peers, at times, as pretty much anyone has been.
