For this question, "pitcher" is defined as one who has pitched in a Major League game. And Wagner has you on the right track.

Nobody is going to get this without looking it up IMO. I mean if Johnny Evers or Roger Bresnzhan or Sam Crawford had pitched an inning, for example, who would know?

My bad.......... It was Cobb, Speaker oand Foxx on the 1927 A's....... who isn't on a T3. Got him confused with Ed.

I just started with Eddie Collins, no pitching record according to Baseball Reference?

[Peter_Spaeth]

Simmons, Wheat and Foxx on that team too. And of course Grove. Sheesh.

LOL. Maybe those three are the answer to three teammates with most lifetime hits though or something, I mean it must be no?

Very good point. Has to be. In fact, with Simmons and Foxx, might be the 5 teammates with the most hits. BTW it's the 1928 A's..... Spoke wasn't there in '27

Suppose there existed video of some of these guys on the mound. Who would be most interesting to see pitch?

My list:
1. Foxx
2. Wagner
3. Cobb
4. Speaker
