Baseball: BaseBall Trivia..

with the Cal Ripken consecutive games record, did he play every inning of all those games or did he just start all of them?

The streak was just playing in that many consecutive games, he was occassionally pulled out of the game to rest but not very often. What's even more amazing about that streak is that the majority was played at SS which is a very demanding position. His last few years he played at 3B.

Phew Well i dont know how many i got right....

Regarding one of the first questions on this post... Wouldn't you consider Ruth as a pitcher, since he was a pitcher? I'm not sure how many homers he had as a pitcher but I'm guessing he had a few.

i believe #8 the big cat should be Andres Gallaraga.

and #17 crime dog is Fred McGriff.

TRD
#4 is incorrect
#5, you mean "Babe"
#8 was wrong, aegis fang got it
#11 anyone???
#13 is wrong
#14 anyone??? (not from the movie Major League)
#16 is wrong
#17 aegis fang got it right!
#18 is wrong
#19 is right, you mean Ozzie

Great try TRD, you got most of them!

Some are still wrong, anyone is welcome to fill in the blanks.

Nice aegis! I only see one that I dont recognize, #4 "The Bull". Maybe it was also Cepeda, I was referring to the Phillies slugger from the 70's and 80's. You could be right though.

how many MLB players were able to have 15 or more consecutive 80+ RBI seasons? 2. Who were they? 3. How many seasons did they go?

this one should be easy.

which MLB team holds the record for consecutive losses? 1. what club, year. 2. how many losses did they have?

who is the only pitcher to have recorded over 300 wins, 700 complete games, 75 shutouts, and over 7000 innings pitched without winning a Cy Young award?

1. Two
2. Hank Aaron and Fred McGriff
3. Aaron - 17, McGriff - 15

McGriff has 35 so far this season, his streak is coming to an end.

Barry Bonds has 13 straight coming into this season and has 77, so he'll have 14 after this year and will most likely join this group next year.

Very impressive, that was quick!

which player holds the record for most at bats without getting hit by a pitch? how many at bats was it?

has anyone else noticed that they keep stats and records for almost everything no matter how insignificant, in baseball? i swear i saw a website with this category...."Most consecutive games pitched with the same shoe laces"


ok so i didn't see it but it's almost that ridiculous. but without all them stats what would i do with my free time?

here's another one. who holds the record for the most wild pitches and how many?
