Never an at bat (answered)

[chuckr37]

There was a player that played two seasons, appeared in 105 games, stole 31 bases, won a world series ring, and had 0 at bats for his career. Who was it?

well, I guess it wasnt Carl Lewis, but is has to be a world class sprinter....

Yes he was, he played for the A's in 1974 & 1975.

Ok, I know who you're talking about. this guy actually managed to get into more than half of the A's games in one of those seasons as a pinch-runner, right? Aaaarrrggghhh - what was his name?

[jwhands]

Herb Washington. Charlie Finley hired him to be their "designated runner".

Thats the name we are looking for. 31 stolen bases in the two years he "played" and he got a world series ring to boot!

Now that's an impressive memory!
