Another baseball star, although not near a hall-of-famer.
Backup catcher and left-handed pinch hitter de luxe with the legendary 1961 New York Yankees. Not someone a RHP wanted to see coming into a game. (In those days in which managers expected their pitchers usually to clean up the messes they created -- no routine switch to a LHP).
(Of course, there was Hector Lopez around to hit from the right side if you did bring in the LHP...).
His biggest accomplishment was four home runs in four at bats over three games between July 21 and July 26, the first two being ninth inning home runs in Fenway in New York come-from-behind victories.
