    Baseball's little known but greatest of all time ...

    Roy Gleason.

    Lifetime batting average: 1.000

    Lifetime slugging percentage: 2.000

    Lifetime OPS: 3.000

    Greatest of all time.


    More 1776, less 1984.

    I've known a few position players who had pitched an inning or two in their careers without giving up a run, so technically they had an ERA of 0.0.

    He was just pinch hitting for the pitcher. He was actually an outfielder. His other games were only as a pinch runner.

    Several players have a career BA of 1.0, but only one managed to do it with more than two at bats - John Paciorek.

    A double, which us why his OPS and SP are crazy.

    SABREMETRICS would love this guy also being that he created three runs of offense per at bat.
