    Harold Baines?

    Gotta be either Baines, fkngOrtiz, Thomas or Martinez...

    Although the fatfk who played for Boston, would like everyone to believe he had the most everything as a DH, I don't believe it's this turd... If I were a MLB skipper and had a choice of any Designated Hitter on my Team, then it would have been Edgar Martinez, maybe Frank Thomas, (after seeing his accomplishments in post #77)... never Ortiz!

    The correct answer is again Frank Thomas.


    Next question; Without Googling, name the second player, after Ty Cobb, to have at least 221 hits, 46 doubles and 54 steals in a season.

    I have no clue at all.

    The only person similar, I believe, was Mantle versus the Pirates of 1960. But that was a 7 game series. Mantle had double-digit RBIs and so did Bobby Richardson. I don't remember Mick's slugging % but we all know he's slugged at a high percentage in world series play.

    I give I have no clue. Good question.

    I need to clarify this Q.
    You're looking for the total amount of games in which a team hit homeruns, and the season too? Not the record amount (quantity) of homeruns they hit, right?

    Yeah, out of a full regular season, what's the number of those games in which they hit at least 1 HR. I added the "within 25 games" because no one is gonna get it exactly right.

    geez, I know this answer has to be wrong: The 2019 Yanx at 125 games?

    I say, it can't be the right answer, as simply because the Yanx hit a record amount of homeruns in 019, 306 in all, I seriously doubt they hit those homeruns in a record number of games. hey, do I get any points for knowing I'm wrong? lol.
