    		There is no major leaguer who has that high of a lifetime average unless he has very at bats

    		You're right about that. Obviously, we're looking for a pitcher.

    		And most likely a career American League starter who was successful at the plate during a World Series apperance.

    		Come on, it's not that obscure and I think it's an interesting curiosity. This guy once led his league in saves and posted more than 100 in his career. Career batting stats: 31 for 78 in regular season games, including 10 for 19 in 1972. He spent several years in the AL, both before and after the DH. A lefty batter, his lifetime average average against lefties was .500 (10 for 20).
