Thank you, I knew it had to be there somewhere. Of some of the people mentioned:
Red Lucas was 117 for 430 (.272) with 2 HRs and 68 RBIs.
Red Ruffing was 56 for 214 (.262) with 2 HRs and 44 RBIs.
Wes Ferrell was 30 for 139 (.216) with 1 HR and 30 RBIs.
Tommy Byrne was 6 for 75 (.080) with 2 HRs and 11 RBIs.
I am not sure why Wikipedia says Byrne had 80 pinch hits. Maybe someone confused his batting average as a pinch hitter with the number of hits he had?
