In 1976, Larry Lintz played in 68 games for the Oakland A's.  He stole a whopping 31 bases at a decent 74% success rate. 

Oddly enough, he only had 4 PAs that year.  4!!!  1 At Bat, 2 Walks, and 1 SH.  Insane.  But such is the life of a designated Pinch Runner. 

Unfortunately, those 4 PAs insure that '76 Lintz will never see the light of day on WIS Baseball.  I wish there was some sort of backdoor way he could be added in light of all the games he played and the terrific basestealing success that he had.  But them's the breaks.  :-)

a 74% sb sucess rates isn't much use in an OL.

Boontone, read the other A's Dynasty book.  They're both great reads.  Another one you can use is Matt alexander. 

Thanks Doug... I'll check it out!

Use 74 or 75 when he played a lot. Herb Washington (1974) was their first designated runner. A track guy. Never batted or played the field

That is crazy, he played in 105 career games, but never had 1 single PA or time in the field, yet he stole 31 career bases.
