| Walkerman- exactly. Why even type a first name?? Brown, in all likelihood, is better known as "Three Finger Brown" than "Mordecai Brown". I'd say it should be accepted. Bostonbeliever- Babe Ruth broke his own HR record something like 4 times. There's no reason to have to indicate if its their own record they broke. I tried Dunn, that didn't work, so then I tried Reynolds. And it was correct! I didn't need the quiz creator to tell me it was ok to pick the current holder of the record. Canes20- haha, I'm trying to think of scenarios why Gehrig's score may be different for the 2 categories. I can't do it! I'm interested to know why myself. Bizzlebiz- I'm sure you know yourself, but baseball was a WHOLE different game before the "modern era", and even in the first couple decades of it. Check into errors if you really want to be astounded! The most famous double-play combo in history is Tinker to Evers to Chance. Their best team was 1906 (Ironically enough, Brown was their best pitcher, with a 1.04 era!). That Cubs team had the best winning % in baseball history- 116-36. In '01, the Mariners tied 116 wins, but they lost 10 more games. The great double play combo, that season, Tinker to Evers to Chance, respectively, had 46, 44, and 16 errors. Interestingly, none of those are CLOSE to the most errors in a season for any of them! If you look up most errors in a season, the only truly "modern" player on the list is Luke Appling- the HOF SS had 55 errors in 1933 and 49 in 1937. |
