metirish Old-Timey Member Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 On this date in 1972 the last home run by an American League pitcher was hit before the AL adopted the DH rule in 1973.Who hit the homer and what was the score?
metirish Old-Timey Member Posted October 5, 2005 Author Posted October 5, 2005 For prosperity here is the answer..Roric Harrison was the last pitcher to hit a home run in the American League, he was pitching for Baltimore against the Indians, the O's won 4 to 3.
Guest sharpie Guests Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 I have zero recollection of Roric Harrison but he had some power, 6 homers in 124 abs. Otherwise an undistinguished career.
