debs c. garms -lrb- june 26 , 1907 -- december 16 , 1984 -rrb- was a professional baseball player for twelve seasons as an outfielder and third baseman for the st. louis browns , boston braves , pittsburgh pirates and st. louis cardinals .
garms broke up johnny vander meer 's streak of hitless innings in 1938 .
he won the national league batting title in 1940 , hitting .355 for the pittsburgh pirates despite having played in only 103 games and garnering 358 at bats .
garms ' batting title proved very controversial because of his limited playing time .
in 1941 he set a then-major league record for consecutive pinch hits with seven , which stood until dave philley broke it in 1958 .
