Danny Hoffman played nine seasons in the American League, sometimes hitting quite well. He came up with the Philadelphia Athletics and later plated for the St. Louis Browns. In 1904 he was knocked unconscious by a fastball to the temple. The pitch by Jesse Tannehill nearly killed him and damaged his eyesight, but he returned to play seven more seasons, although his hitting was affected.

Now, as we try for the threepeat in the '03 Series against the A's, he just needs to start hitting...
And Tannehill is a lot less selective in this save, he just beats all of us most of the time. I think maybe we've won once against him in three seasons.
