Makes sense, there were mainly 3-4 man rotations back then.

I hear Babe Ruth was a pretty good hitter.

still, I always picture the winniest lefty of all time as a tiny little jew, throwing off speed stuff..... I might be completely off, but that is the picture I have in my head from reading
old school baseball bios and books when I was 9 years old. Was Spahn some big strapping guy?

I wasn't even close with Ken Brett. He must have led some kinda record like most homers in a season by a pitcher at some point, I didn't just make it up....

Ken Brett was a heck of a hitter. Another one who was a great hitting pitcher - Terry Forster.

For the record, no pitcher ever hit for the cycle

Pitchers can't hit anymore
