For the 1971 Phillies, pitcher Rick Wise was tied for 5th on the club with 6 home runs.

Two of those were in the same game. He also happened to pitch a no-hitter that day.

In 1968, pitcher Earl Wilson was 9th in offensive WAR for the Tigers, ahead of 3 of their regular infielders. Also 9th in home runs with 7, ahead of Gates Brown who hit .370 and slugged .685.

Rube Waddell was born on Friday the 13th and died on April Fool's Day. Not a big deal but adds to the weirdness that he displayed.

In 1965 Don Drysdale was by FAR the Dodgers best hitter with an .839 OPS. Second place was Jim Gilliam at only .758. He only finished 7th on the team in HR's with 7, but the team leader only had 12.

I always have a hard time deciding which Dodger team that won a World Series was the most offensively challenged, but I think this team takes it over 1988.
