Mlb great hitters that also pitched in a game
I have a few very old scrapbooks, 30s - 40s, that I occasionally just flip through and read the articles. I was flipping through one of those dedicated to the Minneapolis Millers minor league team. Included in the book were several newspaper articles regarding Ted Williams when he played for the Millers and the early years with the Red Sox. I came across one very interesting article, attached hereto. Ted actually pitched 3 innings of relief on August 24, 1940, against the White Sox. I checked the usually references for Box Scores to further validate but came up empty.
Regardless, just wondering if anyone else knows of a legendary hitter (other than Ruth and Ohtani) that also pitched in a game.
Article attached, please enjoy.
