Hi mrpauldoodle, The answer is Hoyt Wilhelm. "Hoyt Wilhelm didn't make his major league debut until the age of 28, but he got off to a fast start by hitting a home run in his first at-bat. Twenty years and a then-record 1,069 games later, he had never done either again; but it was on the mound that he distinguished himself as the game's premier reliever. The knuckleballer won 143 games, including a record 124 out of the bullpen. In a rare start for the Orioles in 1958, he no-hit the Yankees." National Baseball Hall of Fame: Hoyt Wilhelm http://www.baseballhalloffame.org/hofers_and_honorees/hofer_bios/Wilhelm_Hoyt.htm Search strategy: I used the following two websites for my search: Baseball Almanac: Home Run in First At-Bat http://www.baseball-almanac.com/feats/feats5.shtml National Baseball Hall of Fame: Hall of Fame Statistics http://www.baseballhalloffame.org/hofers_and_honorees/hofer_stats/index.htm I hope this is helpful. If you have any questions regarding my answer please don?t hesitate to ask before rating it. Best regards, Rainbow |
