Name the top 10 active leaders in pitching/games started.

This kwiz inspired by today's Snooze which had a very wrong reference to this record.

No but the source of the error. I realize now that the Daily Snooze quiz asked for all active players with 300 or more starts in the American League, noting that Garcia would become only the 5th in his start tonite.

yeah not there.

Of the two remaining guys, one I think shoulda been guessed by now even if the guy tends to fly under the radar some. The other one is a name we all know and hate but hard to imagine he ranks where he does, definitely a surprise.

Re: Kwiz

There was a chart in the Sunday NYTimes about team leads for stolen bases (prompted, of course, by the monumental achievement of St. Jeter wresting the MFY record from Rickey - who himself took it from Wee Willie Small Balls). I'm not going to make a big quiz over it but it does fit in with the recent hits and runs kwizzes that have been running here.

The upshot is that, because the running game was so popular in the early years of baseball, the reigning team record for four different franchises (Phillies, Reds, Giants & Braves) still dates back to the 19th century, while seven more (Tigers, Cubs, Senators/Twins, Red Sox, Browns/Orioles, ChiSox, Pirates) had their record set prior to 1925. Then, as if to emphasize how the power game took over, NO records were set from 1925-1965. Since '65 only the expansion teams (duh!) plus the Dodgers (Maury Wills - 490), Cardinals (Brock - 888), Athletics (Rickey - 967), Indians (Kenny Lofton - 452), and now the Yanx have had their records set or re-set.

The last side-note is that Eric Young first held the Rockies' SB record when he stole a base in their inaugural game, still holds it today with 180, and has only NOT held it for a 16 day period in between when OFer Alex Cole (I have no memory of him) became the only other player in Colorado history to have it.

Y'all here of course know that Reyes took the NYM record from Mookie a couple of seasons back leaving his current mark of 348 as a mark for the next guy since we all know that Jose's current leave will be extended by an airport walkway injury which will in turn keep him out of action until he's dealt away at the trading deadline to the Yanx for Francisco Cervelli.

Re: Kwiz

If you're so fatalistic to believe that Jose is imminently due for an injury, at least add in the extra detail that it will occur days (hours?) after signing him to a seven-year contract.

Jose, by the way, is amazing --- slugging .493 despite having only one homer. A gen-u-ine MVP candidate we have here.

I'm sure he'll actually injure himself permenantly with the actual pen he uses to sign the contract.
