Molitor would likely be the correct answer, but because he played less then half of his games as a DH, he's not clumped into the statistical data. Same as Baylor.
Most of these lists are using the model, that the player counts as that being his regular position only if he played a certain % of his games at that position.
That's what I thought was flawed about the list to begin with, not that it's a post-1920 list, which was declared to be the case right at the outset.
I'd guess the lists are compiled this way because baseball reference doesn't spit out a neat compilation list in this category, and you have to go to each individual players "Career Split" page.....and that could end up being pretty time consuming.
