Bunting is his favorite!

Brian Dozier does not approve.

My favorite - 1991 Upper Deck Silver Slugger insert of Don "The Caveman" Robinson.

Ok. Let's turn the tables. Are there any baseball cards with non-pitchers pitching?

Time4aGansett · April 12, 2018 4:21AM

Isn't there one with Canseco?

No need to research it yourself, just ask Tanner!

Here's one from the Nolan Ryan set:

Here's a card of Jose, throwing knucklers in Fenway after hurting himself warming up in the 'pen.

tbonewilly · April 12, 2018 9:53AM

how about a pitcher sliding!

Christoff · April 15, 2018 6:15PM

This is a great topic!

maddux69 · April 15, 2018 6:59PM

One of my favorite shots

Estil · April 15, 2018 7:07PM

Here is Jose Canseco when he pitched in the 8th inning on May 29, 1993:

And here, on August 19, 1997 you can see Jose wasn't the only one who gave pitching a try:

Here's Doctor K depicted on an 86 Fleer Miniature on what was likely a very cool Florida morning. Doc is decked out in long sleeves, wristbands, and gloves, and doesn't appear to have made it to bed yet after a hard night of partying.

craig44 · April 25, 2018 5:23AM

I was at the game canseco pitched at Fenway. It was a blowout and we had bleacher seats. I freaked out when I saw him warm up in the bullpen and ran down and watched him close up from the railing. It was awesome.

That's a pretty big bazooka too. Did it come on a bubble gum box, or somewhere else ?

Buehrle

totallyradd · May 3, 2018 7:13AM

I need to try to find it, but I know there is a picture of a card of a Brewers pitcher holding a bat. I love it because the Brewers were an AL team at the time. Makes no sense!

miwlvrn · May 30, 2018 6:41AM

I'm not sure they qualify with the intent of the OP here since he was playing shortstop at the time before he became a pitcher, but all of Trevor Hoffman's 1989 & 1990 cards picture him with a bat.

GreenSneakers · June 15, 2018 6:10AM

who can forget joe coleman

GreenSneakers · June 17, 2018 12:14PM

I dont endorse posting bartolo cards, but ....

GreenSneakers · June 17, 2018 12:16PM

Sutter was a borderline HOFer IMHO. Must have been his bat that got him over the line with some voters ...

GreenSneakers · June 17, 2018 12:17PM

If Sutter's bat gets him in HOF, I guess Moose is next ....

GreenSneakers · June 17, 2018 12:17PM

El Presidente

GreenSneakers · June 17, 2018 12:18PM

these guys could actually hit

Jim was such a good hitter, he was sometimes called on to pinch hit. I doubt if many of the other pitchers (maybe Drysdale) could claim that!

Bob Gibson could swing the bat. I remember Rick Rhoden was a good hitting pitcher back in the day.

BTW, Kaat pinch hit 24 times. Drysdale 25. Walter Johnson 128.

Ahopkins- I think all American league team pitchers would practice hitting in spring training.
In case they made the world series. Back in the day pitchers from both leagues had to hit in the world series in national league parks. I think they both teams used the DH in AL parks.

I think that is fairly recent. For a long time they alternated years, which makes it easier to build a roster.

GreenSneakers · July 2, 2018 12:08PM

this guy was awesome

GreenSneakers · July 2, 2018 12:14PM

this guy was meh

GreenSneakers · July 2, 2018 12:19PM

just holding a bat counts?

GreenSneakers · July 2, 2018 12:19PM
