100 Runs/100 RBI

Gwreck Sep 24 2008 12:16 AM

Carlos Delgado has 94 runs scored this year. He'll need 6 more if the Mets want to have 3 players this year who have both scored at least 100 runs and batted in at least 100 runs. He already as 18 runs in 20 games this September, so 6 in the remaining 6 games is certainly a possibility. (Yes, Reyes could get 33 RBI in the final 6 games, too...but I'd bet on Delgado first). If Delgado reaches it, the 2008 Mets will be the first in team history to have 3 players reach the accomplishment. The closest they've come before is '99, when Olerud was 4 RBI short of joining Piazza and Alfonzo. Trivia time! Over the past 10 years, there have been 9 other teams* with 3 such players. Can you name the 3 players from these teams? 1998 Astros 1999 Rangers 1999 Diamondbacks 1999 Indians 2002 Yankees 2004 Cardinals 2004 Yankees 2005 Yankees 2007 Yankees * If you find any other teams, let me know. I believe this list to be definitive.

1998 Astros- Jeff Bagwell, Moises Alou, Derek Bell 1999 Rangers- Ivan Rodriguez, Juan Gonzalez, Rafael Palmiero 1999 Diamondbacks- Matt Williams, Luis Gonzalez, Jay Bell 1999 Indians- Manny Ramirez, Jim Thome, Roberto Alomar 2002 Yankees- Bernie Williams, Jason Giambi, Alfonso Soriano 2004 Cardinals- Albert Pujols, Jim Edmonds, Edgar Renteria 2004 Yankees- Bernie Williams, Jason Giambi, Alex Rodriguez 2005 Yankees- Gary Sheffield, Jason Giambi, Alex Rodriguez 2007 Yankees- Alex Rodriguez, Robinson Cano, Hideki Matsui this question is way too yankee-centric. the '99 indians and '99 diamondbacks are the only two guesses i feel confident about.

Go back a little further, and you find the most scrod team in history, the 1996 Orioles. Palmiero, Anderson, and Bonilla joined the list, with Alomar six RBI short, and Ripken six runs.

="Nymr83"]this question is way too yankee-centric. I think it's pretty clear that the point of the question is not to focus on the Yankees. ]the '99 indians and '99 diamondbacks are the only two guesses i feel confident about. Well, then there might be a few surprises. 1998 Astros - Jeff Bagwell, Derek Bell, Moises Alou - Nymr83 1999 Rangers - 1999 Diamondbacks - 1999 Indians - Jim Thome, Roberto Alomar, Manny Ramirez - Nymr83 2002 Yankees - Jason Giambi, Alfonso Soriano, Bernie Williams - Nymr83 2004 Cardinals - 2004 Yankees - 2005 Yankees - 2007 Yankees -

99 DBacks - Finley, Williams, Gonzalez? (who else could it be?)

AG/DC Sep 24 2008 08:31 AM

Tony Womack.

We're only accepting answers in groups of three, but I can safely assure you that Tony Womack never came close to 100 RBI in a season. All of the right players were mentioned, just the wrong combinations. 99 Diamondbacks with 100/100 were Gonzalez, Finley and Bell.
