Default This early defensive specialist managed to . . .

. . . have the all-time lowest batting average among players with 5,000 or more MLB at-bats, yet be known by a nickname derived from his perceived ability as a clutch hitter. One who could hit in a "Pinch". He was also Clark Griffith's self-chosen replacement as manager of the Senators in 1921 but, before the season was out, he was struck in the face by a line drive during batting practice and forced to retire.
