Unusual Baseball Statistics
Statistics - I love ‘em
I have been fascinated by some of the statistics that have been amassed by some of the major leaguers. Viewing some players numbers has amazed me. My Baseball memorabilia are these amazing stats.
Here are a few achievements I thought might interest you.
Rogers Hornsby From 1921 to 1925 he batted 2679 times - He hit safely 1078 times And averaged .402 during this five year run. Not too shabby
From ages 36 to 41 - his final six years in the Majors he batted 350 times total Hit safely 105 times and fell 70 hits short of 3000 hits for his career. Maybe he could have planned better.
Lou Gehrig From 1930 to 1934 he drove in 813 runs An average of 162 RBIs per year - Enough said The man was a run producing machine
Ty Cobb He had 1937 RBIs in his career He never hit more than 12 home runs in a single year Seven times he knocked in over 100 runs
Runs Batted In This following stats are based on a per game basis Here are a few of the highest numbers As you can see - no one player
averaged one run per game Lou Gehrig .921 Hank Greenburg .915 Joe Dimaggio .885 Jimmy Foxx .859 Hey where’s The Babe?
These RBIs are based on a per at bat basis Here are some of the highest numbers Babe Ruth .263 Lou Gehrig .249 Hank Greenburg .249
