5. Yeah, in American baseball, very few pitchers have any rep as hitters---

and of course in the American League, pitchers don't even bat, so...

In the "all-American game" which WE (mostly) created,
it is particularly ironic that a Japanese player would set such a record--- !!!
(reason enough for Trump to declare war, LOL)
but, they became really big on baseball after WW2...
Yeah, I have the Tom Selleck movie about it...

In the last major league game I attended, I was impressed with the AZ Cardinals pitcher
having hit a double--- but of course they must be National League if he was even up to bat

I'm going to have to search for some Youtube from this game
