For one day in 1953, Vic Raschi was the biggest threat in the Yankees' lineup.
As someone who was born in the 1990s, and has been raised on AL baseball, I'm in favor of the designated hitter. However, pitchers hitting still has the occasional fun moment. Bartolo Colon's home run a few weeks ago might be the best moment of this season so far. In 1953, one Yankees' pitcher had quite an impressive day at the plate.
Vic Raschi made multiple All-Star Games as a pitcher for the Yankees, but his hitting wasn't exactly his strong suit.
