UMM Babe Ruth was a Pitcher

The last panel says all that needs to be said about MLB………

Rimshot!

What about Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Harmon Killebrew and Mickey Mantle?

Ohtani has crazy stats on both side- an NL dream

Baseball certainly has an awful lot of rules for one sport.

Refreshing to see such a player with all around skills.

Because you can’t use a pitcher every day in the lineup.

Don Drysdale for the Dodgers in the ‘60s was a threat on the mound and at the plate. Heck, the Dodgers were known to call him in to pinch-hit.

I love it when a pitcher can help himself at the plate; Madison Bumgarner, Greg Maddux… It’s one of the reasons I prefer the NL to the AL.

Tim Lincecum wasn’t a great hitter, but I saw him pitch a complete-game shutout (3-0, 8K, 7H, 1BB) against the A’s in 2009, when he also had the game-winning hit (since it was a shutout, his 5th-inning single to put the Giants up 1-0 was the only run they needed, but it was still the game-winning RBI). That was fun.

Truly insightful humor – for a change [up].

*Angels’ XD

Ban the DH !

One of the great performances of MLB’s somewhat recent past was by Rick Wise in 1971, when he no-hit the Reds and hit two HRs.
