I wasn't born at this time but I found a record of a guy called Herb Washington who played for the A's in the 70's. He never hit, but he had 29 steals off the bench in 92 games. The 25th spot on the roster could be very useful. Let's sign a world class sprinter for our team. Give him $500,000 to run the bases for us the last couple weeks . He'd never get out either. I'd guarantee that!
