RIPPA Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 3 minutes ago, Dolfan in NYC said: Did they change the rules surrounding the final lock on the roster? I seem to remember it being if you weren't on the roster on 9/1, you weren't eligible for the playoffs. You just have to be on the 40 man or 60 day DL There are also special exemptions Quote A player who doesn't meet said criteria for postseason eligibility can still be added to a team's roster in the postseason via petition to the Commissioner's Office if the player was in the organization on Aug. 31 and is replacing someone who is on the injured list and has served the minimum amount of time required for activation. (For example, a player on the 10-day injured list who has been on it for at least 10 days, or a player who has been on the 60-day injured list for at least 60 days.) Also folks are ineligible if they were suspended for PEDs during the year That being said - that could all change with the new CBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrance Gore* was on the playoff roster for Atlanta despite spending the entire season in the minors. Gore has had an amazing career - 67 career ABs and he's got THREE World Series rings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elizium Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Who was the sprinter who the Oakland A's had as a pinch runner during their 3-peat in the 70s? He had pretty much the same career didn't he? I'm actually not sure if he got an at-bat though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually not sure if he got an at-bat though Allan Lewis who was on 2 of the WS teams He literally was just a pinch runner 1973 was his last year and pretty much summed up how he was used ZERO Plate Appearances. Scored 16 runs. Stole 7 bases. Was caught stealing 4 times 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington appeared in 105 games without a single plate appearance. He was a truly all-time great at stealing bases - 29 successes, 16 caught for a success rate of 64.4%. That's 10% lower than John Wathan, a catcher who probably couldn't outrun me but once stole 36 bases in a season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the first Japanese born position player to play in the National League. Two years with the Mets and 1 with the Giants. (This was the early 2000s) He was wacky even as a player - he was once lowered from the rafters Sting style before a game when he was still playing. Basically he is a Japanese baseball version of Dennis Rodman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
