Can you recall anyone else doing this? It happened to Eastern League manager Dick McAuliffe who was called up to play third base for the injured Rico Petrocelli during the Red Sox pennant drive of 1975 and therefore missed the last week of the Eastern league season. He had not batted once for his Eastern League team all year.
