"There aren't many ball players who break into the Big League by making a home run in their first game, but that is what Dolph Camilli did last fall; not only that, but this particular hit won the game for the Cubs. Camilli was secured by the Cubs from the Sacramento Club of the Pacific Coast League last fall, and during the present season he was traded to the Phillies. He is 26 years-old, 5 feet, 104 inches tall, and weighs about 190 pounds. He batted .293 for Sacramento last year in 159 games. He is a first baseman, bats and throws left-handed."
A pinch-hitting pitcher is a rare sight in any league, but Lynn Nelson, the slugging pitcher of the Athletics, is such a man. Lynn joined the Athletics in 1937, winning 4 games and losing 9 for them that year. In 1938 he accounted for 10 victories and 11 defeats, hurling 13 complete games. Nelson has been used in the outfield on days when not pitching and is very often called upon as a pinch-hitter. In 1938 Lynn took part in 66 games, driving in 15 runs for a batting average of .279.
