- Thread starter SkyRider
- Start date
6) Double header same pitcher to win both games and same reliever to save both games. (1) - That I could find.
July 17, 1989. Jays swept the only double header at the Skydome.
One other interesting detail - I went with my buddy and he walked in with 15 cans of beer in a shopping bag. I was still hung over from the Oakland game on Saturday and he drank them all, plus he smoked a pack of cigs while sitting in the right field, field level seats.
I seemed to go to Jay games that had some bizarre shit at them...
* The wierd base running play when the third base coach was run over (Kenny Williams?). They had to take him off the field.
* A bench clearing brawl with the Yanks
* Watching a huge drunken fat guy attempt to run out naked on the field and fall over the right field seats onto the field and pass out.

I seem to recall reading that Don Newcombe once pitched both ends of a double header. This will probably never happen again with pitch counts and all that.Ref said:

Not even close.
Two players in MLB history have stolen 7 bases in one game.
George Gore did it in (1881),
Billy Hamilton in (1894).
In the modern baseball era, five players have stolen 6 bases in one game:
Otis Nixon, Atlanta Braves (1991),
Eric Young, Colorado Rockies (1996),
and Carl Crawford, Tampa Bay Rays (2009);
Eddie Collins did it twice in the same month (Sept. 1912) for the Philadelphia A's!

I assume it's six in an inning. That's three erased on the base paths and three stranded. Example - two batters get hits and are out trying to stretch. Three singles load the bases. Sixth batter hits one over the wall but the guy who was on second passes the guy from third and is called out. Hitter gets a single but no runs score.Perry Mason said:
My guess is 5 hits. 3 hits to load the bases. Then a double play at 3rd and 2nd followed by two more soft singles and the 3rd out.Perry Mason said:
Players have stolen more then five bases in a game. Carl Crawford stole six in a game earlier this year.Stradler said:
And Cy Young has given up the 47th highest number of walks in a career. He had about 1200, and Nolan Ryan had nearly 2800!!

Six. Several scenarios - the one presented earlier works. If it were more then six then by definition it would have to extend to infinity.Perry Mason said:...what is the maximum number of hits a team can make without scoring a run?

Another one:
Three Singles
Runner at Third Gets Plunked by the Ball Hit by a Batter (Three Times in a Row). In each situation the batter gets credited with a hit, the batter at third is called out, and the bases become loaded again.
Here are a couple of weird stats. Most times hit by pitch in a season (I think it is Ron Hunt with 51). Most times hit by pitch in a career.
Yep - Ron Hunt with the 1973 Expos I think (or one of the Expos early teams) got plunked 50 times I think.. it could be 51.Rockslinger said:
Career was Don Baylor's at one point... not sure if anyone passed him... I think Biggio might have come close.
Apparently, Ron wore a jersey that was 3 times his normal size and the excess would just hang over the plate.maurice93 said:
Biggio is the career leader with 285. He passed Baylor's mark of 267 in 2007.maurice93 said:
That's the modern record anyway. Hughie Jennings has the all time mark at 287 but he played 10 seasons before the "modern" era started in 1901.
Baseball-reference.com is great for these things.
