From Princeton Charlie Reilly, the first pinch-hitter ever, to
today's pinnacle in pinch-hitting, Lenny Harris, this book
enumerates the exploitsand records of the best in this craft
through the 2001 season. Among the statistics are many anecdotes of
their performances.
The decade-by-decade study of pinch-hitting begins in 1892 when
it first became permissible to substitute players in major league
baseball for reasons other than injury. In addition to focusing on
the substitute batters who were the leaders in each era, there are
chapters devoted to the characteristics of an effective
pinch-hitter, preparation for the job, the impact of the designated
hitter, and how a player becomes a pinch-hitter in the first place.
The considerable accomplishments and strengths of these players,
who for too long have not been given the recognition they deserve,
are presented in detail.
