He didn't qualify for the batting title (requires 3.1 plate appearances per team's scheduled games, or 502 PA for a 162 game sked), but it's hard to do worse than Ray Oyler. He "hit" .135 in 247 PA for the champion 1968 Detroit Tigers.Mario Mendoza managed to hit .215 in his career, and was immortalized forever by George Brett when he coined the term "Mendoza Line". In an interview, Brett humorously suggested that, whenever he looked at the batting leaders, he knew he was doing okay if he was above the Mendoza Line, since Mario was usually dead last in the league.
Of course there are bad-hitting pitchers scattered across history, but the very worst may be Bob Buhl, who managed to go zero-for-70 in 1962. At least he managed to draw six walks, and drove in one run with a sac fly.
But overall, it's hard to top (bottom?) Bill Bergen. Managed to play for 11 seasons, almost 1000 games, over 3000 at-bats, and batted -- get this -- .170 for his career, and this was a semi-regular player! Just go look at his stats, you won't believe me otherwise. Seriously long-lasting ineptitude with the bat.
i dotn know. but for this season, i bet it will be adam laroche for the pirates. ugh. i love the pirates, but im not a fan of laroche. sorry i didnt really answer the question.
Do you think the Yankees are ring material?
Good question. You should add a minimum at bats to qualify otherwise some smartass like me is gonna say .000What professional baseball player had the most home runs in 1986?
