Worst BA ever?!?
Arch Reily just finished the 1919 season with Pittsburgh batting a paulty 0.032 (17/529), all singles. He had more RBI (22) and runs (19) then hits. He had a stint from 7/15 to 8/20 were he went 0 for 116. His favorite team by far was the Cubs whom he went 0 for 74 against and his second favorite would have to be the Giants whom he went 1 for 80 against.
Now why this guy played out the entire season is beyond me, unless the computer AI weighs heavily on the avoiding K rating (he was a 10, which was the highest on the team, but every other rating was a 0) the Pirates had a 3B prospect at every level and all had better ratings then Archie. They even had 5 players on the active roster that had some type of rating at 3B. Hehe the funny thing was that if he had gotten enough PA's then he would of won the NL ROY by default since he would of been the only rookie to have qualified. And he does have something to tell the grandkids about his first ML hit came off of Pete Alexander.
