Nope. Former BU pitcher Dave Danforth pitched one inning in Game 4 of the 1917 World Series for the Chicago White Sox. And Former BU pitcher Mule Watson started Game 1 of the 1923 World Series for the NY Giants.KOK QB 70 said:

Yep. Key moment in the game happened in the Top of the 5th with Boston holding a 3-2 lead, but the Dodgers threatening with runners on 1st and 2nd and no one out. The Red Sox pulled their left handed starter and inserted the right handed throwing Matt Barnes. Dodgers Manager Dave Roberts inexplicably kept Max Muncy on his bench, choosing to go with David Freese.KOK QB 70 said:
Max hit a single in first AB, finished 1-2, Dodgers lose 8-4.

OPS vs. Right Handed Pitchers, 2018:
David Freese -- .786
Max Muncy -- 1.001
I immediately questioned the decision. David Freese struck out swinging on an 0-2 pitch out of the zone. Ballgame.
