Here's Al Bridwell's player/manager card from 1919. His only season with Houston, there are accounts of him throwing runners out at the plate from Left field.
I remember Pete Rose picking his spots to pinch hit when he saw a good match-up with the opposing pitcher. It was fun to watch, and I hope we see it again. I could see someone like Altuve managing and playing at the end of his career.
