Obviously that's not quite right, as plenty of other pitchers had done so previously, particularly before the DH. Blanton was, as best as I can tell, the "first NL pitcher to do so in the DH era" which is a pretty arbitrary line to draw for "first." Love our announcing crew but even they're not perfect. Wonder if Babe Ruth did it. *checks* no. but he did have a triple.
