Some interesting Spahn career stats.

Pitching: 363 wins — 356 with Braves, 4 with Mets, 3 with Giants
Batting: 363 hits — 356 with Braves, 4 with Mets, 3 with Giants
Playoff pitching: 4 wins
Playoff batting: 4 hits

Spahn’s streak of consecutive seasons with at least one home run is actually longer than his streak of seasons with at least one shutout, which is a bit surprising. He hit homers in 17 consecutive seasons (1948-1964), but only had shutouts in 15 consecutive seasons (1947-61).

As a Mets maniac (with no actual evidence to back this up), it seems Tom Seaver only got hits when he went up there and squared around to bunt a runner over, but as the pitch was released and the infielders raced in to field said bunt, he would pull the bat back and slap/swing at the ball for an 'easy' hit past them.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

I will go with Ferrell as well but here are two Reds:

Red Ruffing: Used as a pinch hitter 260 times (Ferrell was used 163 times). Career 36/273/.269. Career WAR as batter 13.3 (Ferrell was 11.3). Ferrell has him in OPS .797 to .695.

Red Lucas: Used as a pinch hitter 506(!) times. Not a lot of power 3/190/.281. OPS .687. WAR as batter 12.0.

There are also some Negro Leaguers and 19th century players that could be in the discussion.

and he sat behind me in 1977 at the old County Stadium for a Yankee-Brewer game. Fortunately he didn't recognize me.
