Molitor played 1174 games as a DH, with no position having a higher game total. However, he played more games in the field (1495) than at DH. If one defines his position as the place with greatest number of games, then its DH. Depends on the definition. Certainly Molitor wasn't primarily a DH.


The two others that typically get mentioned are Baines and Edgar. Baines was DH in 1652 and OF in 1061 or primarily a DH. Edgar's problem is that he is more extreme than Baines with DH in 1290 and 3b/1b in 591. Edgar is a DH.
