Numbers #2

[Toy Cannon]

These numbers represent records that in most likelyhood will never be broken. What are they?

A. 17
B. 22
C. 23
D. 44
E. 53
F. 188
G. 259
I. 460


These aren't the only ones, just a few.

[PopTop]

C. 23 seasons = Yaz' tenure with Red Sox, longest single career with a single team

E. 53 seasons = Connie Mack's managerial tenure


Those are the only ones that come to my mind, not even sure they're correct.

Is 188 the most walks in a season?

[Toy Cannon]

E. 53 You nailed this one Pop:clap2: Nice job
C. 23 This is a consecutive record even more impressive than 23 yrs w/one team
F. 188 Not BB's, another consecutive record

A,B, G: WS records

[PopTop]

B. 22 = World Series starts by Whitey Ford
G. 259 = World Series AB by Yogi Berra

[Toy Cannon]

Pop Top comes through again :clap2:

You've nailed:
B,E and G. (why I skipped H. is anybody's guess) :freak:

F. most consecutive complete games

[Toy Cannon]

Not what I'm looking for. The K record could be broken. What I'm looking for is a WS hitting record.

[Yellow Dog]

Is 23 the record for consecutive seasons with 100 or more base hits held by Pete Rose?

No, but that's one that could last. You've driven into the parking lot of the right ballpark. :cool:

[Yellow Dog]

This isn't a hitting record, but how about 23 seasons with one club held by Brooks Robinson and Yaz?

Not what I'm looking for, but you are right in that this day and age of free agency, 23 years with only one club will probably never be repeated.

What I'm looking for is a hitting record held by an AL HOF OF'er.

[Toy Cannon]

A few hints and then I'll post the answers later today.

A. 17 (A WS hitting record held by a Yankee)
C. 23 (a career hitting record held by a HOF AL OFer)
D. 44 ( a team record set by the CWS in the '40's)
I. 460 (a brothers record)

[metsfan001]

C. is Gehrig's grand slams.

C. 23 Consecutive seasons with a .300 BA by Ty Cobb
