Yea, but before the DH pitchers were only 52% of a ballplayer.
I never understood how hitting .089 with 44 Ks in 56 at bats made you a more complete player.
Most of the "straegic possibilities" that were eliminated were of the form: "Losing by two runs, .109 hitter coming up... yea... you know... I guess I'll pinch hit."
