Worthless Trivia of the Day

What did we do before the internet? Today at work a conversation started and we were wondering who was the last Minnesota Twins pitcher to hit a homerun.

I did a little research and in five minutes I came to the conclusion that it was Jim Kaat. He hit two in 1972. In 1973 the designated hitter was adding to the American League so pitchers were no longer batting in the American league. Now with interleague play, AL pitchers do bat from time to time, but they usually aren’t very good.
