lintz's line in '76 is probably my favorite statistical line ever. how many guys bat .000 but still have an ops over 100?

I never heard of Matt Alexander. Appears that he replaced Herb Washington as Oakland's pinch runner in the mid-70s.
Gipson got picked off three times in 5 weeks for the Yankees in '03. Only twice as a PR though.
