So, the “kicking foot” stat is just left blank for everyone else? And just because he used it for 1 play makes it “preferred”?
Just below his name it says:
Bats: Left Throws: Left Kicks: Left
The last “Left” is a hyperlink to the play in question. For every other player it just says bats and throws.
You can also just put the word “spoiler” inside brackets. As long as you put “/spoiler” inside brackets at the end.
They’re being silly. Baseball has no kicking foot. You’re supposed to chuckle.
Agree. I just never thought that particular website would do that. Are there any other “Easter eggs” like that in it?
Not that I’m aware of.
And as a Yankee fan, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen O’Neill kick plenty of things with both legs. Excellent player, but he threw temper tantrums frequently.

I believe they add a new one every April Fool’s. There’s a lot.
OK, the first team ever to beat Mexico at the Azteca was Tottenham Hotspur! It was a friendly just before the 1966 World Cup.
I was born in Cleveland in 1949, the year after The Indians won their second World Series. Since then they’ve lost in '54 4-0, '95 4-2, '97 4-3. '16 4-3. I tell my wife, they’ll probably win it the year after I die.
Keith Hernandez’s mustache has 19 home runs? Wow!
That won’t get you much sympathy from Mariners fans.
I like how on his page they put the word bats in sarcastic scare quotes.
My favorite stat line gives us this trivia question.
What are the career major league batting stats for Walt Alston, who later had a legendary career as manager for the Dodgers, skippering the team from 1954-1976, during which he won 7 national league pennants and 4 World Series?
I at bat. 1 strikeout.
The above post inspired me to do a search for the answer to this question. I will freely admit that I didn’t know the answer, and I’m not sure that I ever heard the name. If I did, I certainly don’t remember it.
Who has the most MLB plate appearances with a .000 batting average?
Randy Tate. He pitched one season (1975) for the Mets, compiling a W-L record of 5-13 with an ERA of 4.45. He had 47 plate appearances, recording 1 walk and 5 sacrifice bunts. So he had 41 at-bats with zero hits.

I wonder what the answer is for a non-pitcher.
Mike Potter (St. Louis Cardinals) and Larry Littleton (Cleveland Indians) are tied with 23 at-bats.
Thanks. I guess it was the number that was the more interesting part. Obviously not names anyone ever heard of.
