I love the weird stuff you can stumble across playing this game. Am currently on May 3rd of my 1952 Replay. Cleveland @ Washington.
Was surprised to find that, in real life that day, the Indians sent TWO of their starting-rotation pitchers to the plate… as pinch-hitters. 😲
Bob Lemon batted for Sam Jones in the top of the 8th (Lemon flied out to left), and Early Wynn pinch-hit for John Berardino in the 9th (Wynn singled and was lifted for a pinch-runner).
Cleveland lost the game 7-6.
For what it’s worth, Lemon batted .226 in ‘52, while Wynn batted .222.
But can’t say I’ve ever heard of that happening before, or since.
