'morning all. One quick 3 Ding! poser today.

This is a combined MLB/somewhat Astros related.

The record for career World Series pinch-hits is 3, held by 10 players. 3 of the 10 spent part of their careers with Houston. One Ding! apiece for the 3 former Astros. None of the 3 played for Houston in their only WS appearance. Ding!s awarded only for the 3, none for the rest of the 10.

But we can't look up the answers. Takes the fun out of it.

Hell, I might have gotten to Boswell but there's no way I'd dig up Warwick.

With the right hint... you know if it gets that far.

Played OF in '62, shares same last name with the lady that sang, "Do You Know the Way to San Jose?".
