better known as an outfielder, of course, but he did have over 1200 innings as a pitcher in the majors.

not sure how much homers he got during games where he pitched, though, maybe that's the relevant stat?

I believe that count includes only the Homers he hit in games he pitched

I think there was a period (one season? one and a half?) where he played the outfield some games and pitched others
