4/20/2006 11:27:24 PM

4/20/2006 11:28:10 PM

^^ guess

4/20/2006 11:49:18 PM

well id assume since he is a pitcher in the american league that there should be a DH there

4/20/2006 11:52:09 PM

were they always in the AL?

uhh, maybe he was a really good bunter

when was the dl rule instituted?

4/20/2006 11:56:28 PM

a long time ago...the only thing i could think of is if they played a long game, ran out of people to hit from subs and whatnot...unless he was a good bunter

4/20/2006 11:57:57 PM

looks like he was a good bunter or they ran out of people

weird that they used that as his card

4/20/2006 11:59:15 PM

Quote :

"He did bat for himself during spring training games and interleague games when in a National League ballpark. When Abbott joined the National League's Brewers in 1999 he went to bat 21 times, collecting two hits. When batting, Abbott would swing the bat one-handed but would usually bunt."

^^ Interleague regular season play started in 1997 so he had the chance of an at-bat in '98 with the white sox and of course in 99 with Milwaukee (NL)... where his only official at bats are recorded.

4/21/2006 12:40:47 AM

In that picture he is playing for the Angels.

I still cannot see how he was batting.

They never made the World Series in the 1990s.

4/21/2006 12:44:36 AM

According to The Baseball Encyclopedia, he never had a regular-season at-bat before he played for Milwaukee. Angels didn't play in any World Series around that time (looks like a 1991 Upper Deck). And I don't think he made any all-star teams. So it's gotta be from spring training.

4/21/2006 1:03:41 AM

hah i didnt even know he played that long(up to 99)

4/21/2006 1:04:33 AM

If you lay down a good sacrafice bunt, I'm pretty sure it doesn't count as an at-bat, just a plate appearance.

I thought there was a way to lose the DH in the AL durring a game, anyway (i.e. moving the DH into a defensive position forcing the pitcher to hit in the subbed player's spot on the lineup). But then again, I could just be high.

This thread is not complete without pictures of Julian Tavarez, Carlos Zambrano, and David Ortiz.

Sorry I'm at work so I cannot get to sports sites to find pictures.
