Default Pitchers At The Bat?
I got to thinking yesterday. I could not think of a single baseball card that showed a pitcher batting. Until the DH came around they batted just as often as any other position.

Can anyone show examples I've missed?

Mark, there cards issued 100-120 years ago that show pitchers batting. WaJo was a good hitting pitcher, and he was often used as a pinch hitter. HOFer and Senators owner and GM had a fine pitching career in the late 19th Century. L/H pitcher George Mogridge was instrumental in the Senators only World Series win, in 1924.

A lot more recent than any of the other cards too bad it was not on the front of the card.

Default '51 sets too obscure?

Popped into my head as soon as the question was read - probably because i'm a long-time Tribe fan.

Valenzuela laying down a bunt in one of the ugliest sets in history, 88 Donruss. Cards don't get much worse than this, fellas.



Edit: sorry it's so big, just linked the image from the googles.

Donruss peaked in 1985. Almost all their other designs were godawful.

I started a thread about the Donruss wax years last year. I foolishly didn't make it a poll, but a lot of guys chimed in with their favorites. I'm partial to 84 and 87 myself.

Isn't there a Roger Clemens from his Blue Jays days where he is depicted hitting? After the start of interleague play?
