Box Score of the Week

 I believe this is the oldest MLB game I've ever cited on this weekly feature. 


Let's go back to September 7, 1903 - St Louis Cardinals at Cincinnati Reds.


-------------------------------------------


This past Sunday, L.A. Angels starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani batted second in the lineup. The last time a starting pitcher batted second was in that 1903 game I referenced. Cards pitcher Jack Dunleavy, whose normal field position was pitcher, played right field in that 1903 contest.
