Name the four Major League Baseball players who had three or more 30-30 seasons for home runs and stolen bases. We're looking for all four here, not one at a time.
Six different Toronto Blue Jays players have played 162, (or more), regular season games for the team in one season, (two did it twice).
Name as many as you can.
Tony Fernandez played 163 games for the Blue Jays in 1986, including a 6-6 tied game at Cleveland on August 26.
Tied games occur in baseball when:
a) At least five full innings are completed.
b) The game is not completed.
c) The score was tied at the end of the last completed full inning.
All statistics for full innings in tied games are official. Statistics for a partial inning DO NOT count. There are several cases in Major League Baseball where the visiting team took the lead in the top of an inning in a game which had been tied, (often influenced by sudden torrential rain), but the official records revert back to the end of the last fully completed inning.
Games which end prematurely before five innings* are completed are unofficial. No statistics count, and they are replayed in their entirety.
*If the home team is winning, and the visitors have completed five innings of batting, the game counts as complete.

One Correct!

Nope.
c) Would be a suspended game, and would be resumed at a future date, if the visiting team took the lead in the top half of an uncompleted inning, and if the game was relevant to the League final standings. It WOULD be a tied game if the game was deemed irrelevant, and not resumed, in which case, the score would revert to what it was at the end of the last completed inning.
Another example of why a game would be suspended is if a Manager's appeal affecting the final score was upheld by the Office of the League President, (as in the 1983 Yankees-Royals "pine tar incident" game).
According to Rule 7.02 (a)(5):
A suspended game shall be resumed and completed as follows:
Weather, if the game is called before it is a regulation game, or if a regulation game is called while an inning is in progress and before the inning is completed, and the visiting team has scored one or more runs to take the lead, and the home team has not retaken the lead.
