Mark, there cards issued 100-120 years ago that show pitchers batting. WaJo was a good hitting pitcher, and he was often used as a pinch hitter. HOFer and Senators owner and GM had a fine pitching career in the late 19th Century. L/H pitcher George Mogridge was instrumental in the Senators only World Series win, in 1924.
