Re: RIP Newk
Always wondered why pitchers, who were generally the best athletes overall in their younger years, turned into such poor hitters.
Former UA shortstop turned MLB HOF pitcher Trevor Hoffman had a lifetime MLB batting average of .118.
Newcombe hit over .300 in 1954 and 1955, with 7 HRs one year.
