 Pinch Me I’m Elmer Valo from The Hardball Times
Valo had a Hall-of-Fame batting eye walking over three times as often as he struck out; with a decent lineup behind him he’d likely have been among the league leaders in runs scored.
Valo got his first taste of the big leagues in 1940 at the tender age of 19, and by age 21 he cracked the Philadelphia A’s varsity and enjoyed the little known honor of being the first player to grace the cover of Baseball Digest.
Valo had a brief tenure as a major league coach with the Cleveland Indians in 1963-64 and received two Hall-of-Fame votes in 1967.

 The All-Elmer Team
Elmer Dessens was pitching for the Reds (and was the losing pitcher), and as I was watching the game it occurred to me that there haven't been very many major league players named Elmer.
Valo batted.282 in 1,806 games, and spent the last few years of his career as a successful pinch-hitting specialist.
Elmer Flick is one of the weaker Hall of Fame selections, and the first Elmer Smith is almost certainly the most accomplished hitter, as well as the winningest pitcher, of all the 37 Elmers.

 BBTF's Newsblog Discussion :: The Hardball Times: Brattain: Pinch Me I’m Elmer Valo
For years, I thought Elmer Valo was just another character name that Herb Vigran used on the old Superman TV show, along with…
Supposedly Valo made a token appearance in one game in 1939 which would make him a "four decade" player.
I assume it's possible that Valo pinch-hit for the pitcher at some point during the game - there were a couple of other box score which indicated that a pinch-hitter had been used but didn't list that player in the box due to space constraints.
