How about if he lined a "single" to RF, but was thrown out because his could barely run?
In '73, before the DL rule, Rusty Staub played RF in the WS with a badly injured throwing shoulder because they needed his bat. Was that an acceptable "excuse" for not throwing out a runner at the plate on a Sac Fly?
