IUFLA Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) My next guesses we're Campanella and (sigh) Garvey... Never would have guessed Karros... Edited June 24, 2020 by IUFLA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billingsley99 Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Since no one said Eric Karros I will so I can ask this one. What player holds the record for stealing home, and how many times did he accomplish it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted June 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 There have been 3 pitchers in MLB history that at some point in their career tossed a no-hitter and led their respective league in saves. Name them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He musta meant Hoyt Wilhelm...I thought of him, but by the time they started counting saves, he was at the end of his career...so I don't think he's the other one...

I didn't think anyone would get Sisler's record, but Ichiro was not only an elite hitter, but a great outfielder with a cannon for an arm... I guess the only unbreakable record in baseball would be Cy Young's 511 wins... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
