"Shouldn't be holding a bat"

Something different.
Back ground story: Steve Braun is from Hopewell, NJ, north of Trenton. When I used to work for the Trenton Thunder he would stop in (either as fan or associated with visiting team). This is one of his "Whitey" Herzog stories: "I was late to practice one day. Came out of the locker room into the dug out carrying a cup of coffee and my glove. Whitey says 'What the hell you think you're doing?' I say 'It's only a cup of coffee.' He replies: 'I don't give a shit about the coffee, why the *%^& are you carrying a glove.'" Show a card (or more) that depicts a player holding a bat (or wearing a glove) that really has no reason doing so. No, it doesn't have to be a T206 :rolleyes: Glenn Liebhardt: Holds Southern Association record of 35 wins (11 losses) in 1906 for Memphis.

Koufax......

As a kid I remember watching Sandy Koufax at bat. As great a pitcher he was it was painful to watch him at the plate. He always appeared to me to be wishing he was anywhere else but in the batter's box. His lifetime batting average is .097, and I think that is only because the ball somehow ran into his bat.
A young Koufax................ |

Because there is no stipulation that this must be a pitcher, I am going to go with Bill Bergen, one of my favorite T206 and the man with the lowest career batting average (.170, min 2500 plate appearances).

Ed Burns, Phillies. 796 AB, 27 extra base hits, with 0 homers (.271 slugging %). Even for the deadball era, he was a terrible hitter. |
