About Jim Holt
Holt hit no home runs in 79 games for the Twins in 1974 and batted .254. With Oakland he hit .143 in 30 games, and across both clubs he went hitless in 24 consecutive pinch-hit at-bats.

Jim Holt was a left-handed-hitting outfielder and first baseman who played all nine of his major league seasons, 1968 to 1976, for the Minnesota Twins and Oakland Athletics. He grew up in Graham, North Carolina, enlisted in the Army in 1963 and played ball while stationed in Germany before the Kansas City Athletics signed him in 1966. Minnesota took him in the Rule 5 draft after he hit .312 for Peninsula in 1967, and he debuted on April 17, 1968. His best season was 1973, when he hit .297 with 11 home runs and 58 RBIs in 132 games. Traded to Oakland in August 1974, he became a pinch-hitter and defensive replacement, and his two-run pinch single in Game Four helped Oakland to a 5-2 win over the Dodgers in that year's World Series. He finished with a .265 average, 19 home runs and 177 RBIs in 707 games, then played in the Mexican League in 1977.
