Washington was acquired by the Baltimore Colts in a trade for Lydell Mitchell after the 1977 season.

Which Formula 1 driver contested the most Grands Prix without ever winning?

Andrea de Cesaris, (214 entries, 208 starts).



This record is now held by Nico Hulkenberg, (220 races, 217 starts, and counting). Hulkenberg also doesn't have a podium finish in his F1 career, (de Cesaris had five).

Who holds the Major League Baseball record for most regular season games played in one season?
Maury Wills, (165 games played in 1962).

Wills played in all 162 Los Angeles Dodgers games from Opening Day on April 10 through September 30, 1962. Prior to 1969, the National and American League Champions advanced directly to the World Series. In 1962, however, the Dodgers and San Francisco Giants had identical 101-61 records. Pre-1969 Era National League rules stipulated that two teams tied after game 162 would play a three game series, the winner of which, (SFG), would meet the AL Champion New York Yankees. These three games were considered part of the Regular season, rather than the postseason.

The last time a tie-breaking game was required in the National League was in 1980. This was a single game playoff won by the Houston Astros over the Dodgers. That game decided the winner of the National League West Division Champion, as opposed to the League Pennant winner, (six team divisions were established with the 1969 Expansion by two teams in each League.

Today a tie-breaking formula would be used, instead of a playoff game.

We all know him and love him. He started at the bottom and now he's here.......................DRAKE. As in Oliver Drake.
In 2018 he pitched for 5 different teams. He did actually play on the field for each team that year, including a memorable 1.2 IP for the Toronto Blue Jays. Take that Kendrick Lamar.
