Last week, I dove deep into the annals of Baseball-Reference.com and came up with a list of the top 10 all-time pitching performances by position players.
It was a fun list, but I got the feeling afterwards that there was more to say about position-player pitching performances. They're few and far between and they're rarely pretty, but they're also quite awesome in their own way.
So I went back to the records. This time, my goal was to uncover the most memorable position-player pitching performances of all time.
I'm going with a pretty loose definition of the word "memorable" here. Some of the performances I came up with are memorable because of the player who was doing the pitching. A few others are memorable because they were so incredibly bad.
It's a mixed bag, but definitely a fun one as well. Let's take a look.
Note: Baseball-Reference.com has a complete list of pitching stats for non-pitchers. I highly recommend checking it out, and then quitting your job so you can spend more time with it.
