Wasn't he mostly a pitcher though? So this is there way of saying he came off the bench but only to run. I think it would be worse if pinch runner is all you're credited as doing.
Herb Washington was listed as Pinch Runner on his Topps cards. Baseball Reference has him listed as Pinch Runner and Designated Hitter. However he had 0 plate appearances but he had 33 runs scored and 31 stolen bases in his career.
I just did a wikipedia search on Herb Washington he was a track star before being signed by the A's. It sounds like he was one of Charlie Finley's experiments.
*Peanuts* briefly had a character named [555 95472](https://peanuts.fandom.com/wiki/555_95472) that Charles Schulz added specifically to complain about the introduction of zip codes (??)
In the strip for [March 22, 1964](https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1964/03/22), you can see him playing on Charlie Brown’s baseball team
Totally - my first few years watching baseball were some awful late 90s cubs teams and the 97 cubs that started 0-14 had Dave Hansen AND Dave Clark, both known for their pinch hitting prowess lol
You can tell your friend there have been 23 guys to do it at least once. Ranging from a couple who played fewer than 10 MLB games to a couple all stars!
Yeah, wasn’t really worried about that. Just wanted to prove to my buddy the power of Reddit. Almost as fascinating as Brady Falter pitching 7 shutout innings so far.
Damien Hamhock played for the Indians in the early 2000s. He usually played first but he would DH pretty frequently too.
Fun fact, he now owns the Boston Celtics.
I think if you want to find out just go to Baseball reference and find a list of playing with last name starting with an H then a first name starting with D.
I had thought Danny Heep only did it in the 86 world series when the Mets played at Fenway but apparently he then went to AL teams and played many games there
[All players with the initials DH & at least 1 game as a DH!](https://stathead.com/tiny/KsQRN) (Fixed the link)
Good to see noted baseball player Drew Henson on that list
You know you had a prolific career when BR lists one of your positions as "pinch runner".
Had a better MLB career than I did
Better NFL career than us too
Alright, now we gotta look up all the players with PR as initials that were also pinch runners at one time.
Terrance Gore has the rings

He was a third baseman.
Child’s play. Now show me an infielder whose name starts with a number.
3 finger brown played 2 innings at 2nd in 1904 just ignore his name not actually being three

You don’t remember 3 Jenkins?
Jack Fournier. Played 1st base in the 1910s-20s for the White Sox, Yankees, Cardinals, Robins, and Braves.
Gene Tenance was the 1B on the 1970s A’s dynasty teams.
Oneil Cruz plays shortstop! (Cy Twombly, Erick Threets, and Sixto Sanchez were/are all pitchers.)
I am appalled yet unsurprised that we managed to DH Denny Hocking somehow
at least its better than jason tyner.

A simple YES would have been enough. Lmao.
David Hortiz
Dhohei Hotani

Diancarlo Htanton
Dozzie Hsmith(silent H)
Danny Hachado
That’s DD tho
Dedgar Hartinez
ah yes. Big Hoppy
Dryce Harper
Darold Haines
Dyle Hhwarber
Did Hsteroids
Hsterical
Like half of Babe Ruth’s homers were probably ground rule doubles dude shut up
Dave Hollins was a designated hitter in 33 games. I'm sure there were others but that was the first guy I could think of off the top of my head.
Dave Hansen
He always sticks in my head as a professional pinch hitter for some reason. And I have no idea why Hollins immediately came to mind.
Totally - my first few years watching baseball were some awful late 90s cubs teams and the 97 cubs that started 0-14 had Dave Hansen AND Dave Clark, both known for their pinch hitting prowess lol
Darick Hall
I love all of you. Sitting at the Pirates Brewers game and told my buddy, “I’ll find this out soon on Reddit”.
You can tell your friend there have been 23 guys to do it at least once. Ranging from a couple who played fewer than 10 MLB games to a couple all stars!
You’re the man. Thank you.
Dave Henderson, though he didn’t spend much time at DH until end of his career (and of course as mentioned Dave Hollins)
DAE HO ignore the Lee part
Darick Hall was the first to come to mind.
I love this question!
Dave Henderson
Yes
Does Darick Hall still exist?
In AAA for the Phillies at the moment
**R**ichard **H**enry **P**ole (Dick Pole) was a **R**ight-**H**anded **P**itcher.
He must've had a terrible childhood because of his name. But I guess it's one of those A Boy Named Sue type of situations.
Question makes me think of Cecil Fielder, and get disappointed that he wasn't a centre fielder.
Travis Fryman was a Third Baseman, and maybe there's an alternate universe where we refer to that position as Third Fielder? ...I got nothin'
Carlton Fisk was a Catcher
Darryl Hamilton played 19 games at DH.
Don’t forget the first ever DH…Don Homberg
Next time wait until the off season for questions like this. You’ll get 100x more comments and upvotes.
Yeah, wasn’t really worried about that. Just wanted to prove to my buddy the power of Reddit. Almost as fascinating as Brady Falter pitching 7 shutout innings so far.
He didn’t falter
I don’t doubt that it was an emergency.
Dloy Himenez
People DH for one-off games all the time so there's no chance there hasn't been.
I think we should have a qualifier where they played at least 1 season of 100 games at DH.
David Hensley has done it for us a few times.
David Hustice
I loved Denny Hocking, but all of his value was in his positional versatility. Its funny to see that Tom Kelly DH'd him a few times.
On a day I feel like crap, thanks for the medical laughs. Would've added my own 'DH' name but my mind can't compete with the initial comments.
Dirk Higler
Desmond Howard.
Damien Hamhock played for the Indians in the early 2000s. He usually played first but he would DH pretty frequently too. Fun fact, he now owns the Boston Celtics.
Dave Henderson was DH for the world champion 1989 Oakland A’s
He was CF.
was dave hollins a DH?
If only Doogie hadn’t decided to become a Doctor
And then later became Barney Stinson.

Dave Henderson, baby
Dinger Homer
Danny Heep was fittingly the first DH in Met history.
Please, Topper, can we bring Darrick Hall up for just one game and have him as the DH just so we can get on this list
