Damn, I know this but I can’t go.
Rick Rhoden
Went 0-1 with a sac fly (1 RBI)
June 11, 1988
batted 7th
Yanks won 8-6 WP: John Candelaria
That’s it.
Lindy McDaniel
September 25th, 1973; first year of DH.
He hit in the 9th spot and was 0 for 2.
Eduardo Rodriguez was the winning pitcher.
Mind you, I did look up the details at BR. If that’s cheating, I hope I haven’t screwed it up for somebody who (honestly) knew all that off the top of the head if that’s possible. Did have an inkling it was Lindy though, as he was a pretty good hitting pitcher.
