I should have known this, and I admit I had to look it up.Quote:

Carlton would have likely duplicated the feat in 1972, had it not been for the players strike. That probably cost the last place Phils a 100 loss season (59-97), to go with Carlton's 27-10 record.
I would have guessed Carlton, but wouldn't have assumed i was right, but he had an incrible year, on a terrible team.Quote:

Three teams in the AL (and two in the NL) were worse that same year, 1968, so that's not it.Quote:

the reason i ask, Adam Dunn's year.
the example would be.
If Dunn had hit 50 homers, but the Nationals only won 58 games....he would be 8 games off..
or if the Nats had only lost 58 games, what is the closest anyone has ever gotten?
1962 mets won 40 games
Frank Thomas hit 34 homeruns.
Difference 6
1952 Pirates won 42 games
Ralph Kiner hit 37 Homers
Difference 5
This is pretty interesting to me.
1938 Boston Braves won 38 games
Wally Berger hit 34 homers
Difference 4
How low can we go?
I found another 4... Sosa with the 99 Cubs. I will look for a 3.
anyone on the inverse? home runs equal total loses?
2001 Giants only lost 72 games.
Barry Bonds hit 73 homers.
27 yankees 44 loses, Ruth 60 HRs, Gehrig 47HRs
so no player has ever hit as many home runs as his team won? we got close.
Name the 3 MLB players, two are HOFers, to lead the league in steals and homers in the same season
ty cobb i know
Mays might have
Don't think so :|Quote:

Out of all the Japanese-born players to play in the Major Leagues,
Ichiro has the most hits with 2030
Hideki Matsui has the second most hits with 977.
Who has the third most?
kaz matsui?
and ya, i looked up Mays, he lead in both home runs and stolen bases several times, but never both in the same year.
Cobb i know did, whenever he had his triple crown season in 09....but without looking it up, i don't know who else.
So Taguchi!
It's not Kaz nor Taguchi
kenji
Dave Roberts, he was born on Okinawa
Nope.Quote:

Brooks Robinson won nineteen consecutive gold gloves for the Baltimore Orioles.
Ty Cobb is correct, he won the triple crown in 1909 and also lead the league in stolen bases. There are also 2 more men to have done it.
Jimmy Sheckard in 1903 and Chuck Klein in 1932 are the other 2, with Klein being the other HOFer besides Cobb.
Who was the first Phillie to ever come to bat in the All-Star game?
uh huhQuote:
