Who Are Three People Who Have Never Been In My Kitchen?

Andre Robertson, Nick Johnson and Jose Molina.
And, while that answer is technically correct, these three have something else in common: Starting a game at D.H. for the New York Yankees, while batting 9th.
Andre Robertson was the first ever to do it – on June 19, 1982…a game that the Yankees won in 16 innings.
Nick Johnson did it 27 times while he was with the Yankees – which, by the way, is the major league record for most times appearing in a starting line-up, as a D.H., while batting 9th.
And, Jose Molina was the most recent Yankee to turn this trick – doing it on October 2, 2009.
Here are all the Yankees to have this honor, before Molina joined the club this season:
