I think most here know that David Wright sits just 10 HRs short of the NYM career record and that he already holds many of the team records including most hits and most RBIs. And just this past week, Wright's fellow SE Virginian Ryan Zimmerman passed Tim Wallach as the all-time hits leader for the Montreal/Washington franchise, a feat which makes Zimmerman one of [u:2wys2kpv]seven players to hold a franchise's career mark in Hits, HRs, and RBI[/u:2wys2kpv] Who are the other six?

Couple of gimmes in this list, first one being Hammerin Hank of course.

Todd Helton.

Brett

Frayed Knot Aug 08 2018 12:00 PM Re: Wednesday Trivia

Aaron is correct, as are Brett & Helton (when in doubt, go for newer franchises) but Mays is NOT. Willie left the Giants [u:35qbyqmt]One RBI short[/u:35qbyqmt] of Mel Ott's team record!!

Longoria for the Rays.

Edgy MD Aug 08 2018 01:12 PM Re: Wednesday Trivia

Cal Ripken. Junior.

Frayed Knot Aug 08 2018 01:13 PM Re: Wednesday Trivia

Neither Banks nor Longoria is correct. While Longoria does hold both TB's HR & RBI marks, he was just nine hits short of Carl Crawford when he was dealt from the Rays last winter. Banks holds none of the three records for the Cubs, sitting behind Cap Anson in career hits & RBIs and in back of Slammin' Sammy Sosa in HR AARON HELTON BRETT RIPKEN =#FF0000]STAUB BANKS LONGORIA MAYS YASTREMSKI Ripken is correct for the Browns/Orioles

Frayed Knot Aug 08 2018 02:07 PM Re: Wednesday Trivia

Seeing as how it's already been established that Ryan Zimmerman holds the Montreal/Washington record in all three categories, you would do well to stop guessing ex Ex Pos And while Edgar does have more RBIs for Seattle than anyone else, Mister Suzuki leads in hits (by 295 over Edgar) and Mr. Griffey is well ahead in HR.

Frank Thomas, White Sox?

Frayed Knot Aug 08 2018 05:05 PM Re: Wednesday Trivia

There were six answers (in addition to Zimmerman who makes it seven) and Gonzalez & Musial rounded out the six, so please hold all future calls. HANK AARON - BRAVES TODD HELTON - ROCKIES GEORGE BRETT - ROYALS CAL RIPKEN JR. - ORIOLES LUIS GONZALEZ - DIAMONDBACKS STAN MUSIAL - CARDINALS Although for the record, Thomas does hold the ChiSox record from HR & RBI but Luke Appling is their leading hit maker (Thomas is 4th behind also Nellie Fox and Paul Konerko).

Edgy MD Aug 08 2018 05:17 PM Re: Wednesday Trivia

I guess the next challenge is finding which teams have a different character holding each of those three marks. Off the top of my head I guess Florida/Miami, with Castillo (hits), Stanton (homeruns), and Conine (RBI) as a good candidate, but I may be way off with Conine.

Frayed Knot Aug 08 2018 05:22 PM Re: Wednesday Trivia

FLA/MIA = Castillo, Stanton and Stanton Conine is 3rd in RBI behind Stanton & Mike Lowell

Twins - Carew (hits), Killebrew (HRs), Oliva (RBIs)

Benjamin Grimm Aug 08 2018 08:13 PM Re: Wednesday Trivia

It will be true of the Mets too if Jose Reyes gets 15 hits per year for the next 17 years.

That's like the lottery tickets that sound good to an MFY Bleacher Creature - winner gets a dollar a year for a million years. Later
