One right, one wrong. 

[Scraps 13,598]

Oh you motherfucker....Pierre 699 AB.....new #1 bullshit

[WBT 20,735]

Rollins is #1 all-time with 716.

Ichiro is also right

[dcar00 14,598]

 

Willie McGee?

Willie Wilson?

[dcar00 14,598]

Yeah I am sure Wilson is one because he had a record breaker card in 1981 for AB's in a season.

[WBT 20,735]

Yeah, Willie Wilson is the 1980 one.  One more.

[Beau Vine 54,831]

Omar Moreno or Juan Pierre, who are the same person anyways.

Juan Pierre

Womp womp....welcome to the losers lounge with me on that one with 699 lol

[dcar00 14,598]

never would have guessed the last guy but he is similar vintage to Wilson as far as when he played.

we've posted about him in this thread before

[WBT 20,735]

Besides Ichiro's 704 in 2004, he had 8 other seasons of >675 ABs.  Guess you can't afford to mess around if you're going to come over at 27 and still get to 3000 hits.

[Scraps 13,598]

So who is the last guy?

[WBT 20,735]

Juan Samuel

Ernie Banks makes his major league debut with the Chicago Cubs.  He became the club's first black player. 

[Bevo&Pevo 5,387]

The first organized baseball team is formed on this day in 1845 named the New York Knickerbockers.

On this day in 1984 Sparky Anderson became the first manager to win 100 games in both divisions.

Something I came across because of Immaculate grid.

Who is the only member of the 500 HR club who never hit 40 or more in a season?

[Scraps 13,598]

Eddie Murray was my first thought.

Mel Ott would be my second thought

[WBT 20,735]

Murray is right.  His high was 33

[Scraps 13,598]

Murray is right.  His high was 33

I looked up Ott just to see also and he only had 1 year over 40

[Beau Vine 54,831]

When was the last time the two league MVPs played in the World Series?

[Helobious 9,503]

2012, Cabrera vs Posey. If Jeter doesn’t break his ankle in the ALCS Cabrera never makes it that far though

Lulz, you couldn't stand being right for once and just leaving it at that?  

The Tigers just fucking wrecked the Yankees in that series.

Iirc Eduardo Nunez had a 9th inning homer in game 4 and I was convinced he was going to be a breakout star in 2013. The other Yankee fan poster (morley man?) told me I was stupid
