Von Hayes...8th...not bad for guy who was malighned.— Romus- He'd be better batting 8th.— philsfansince1946
- He has soooo many at bats... that helps.... Has anyone looked at how many short infield hits he has that result in easy outs???... he is probably first for those too...— westie33
- Also we should note that JRoll gets way more 1st inning at bats than a four hole hitter. You should find the first at-bat homerun list. Schmidt and Howard would have a lot of separation.— KINGOFZED
