Watching the A's-Mariners...the following question was thrown out as part of their daily broadcast: Over the past three years which players have the highest percentage of their hits as singles? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Post your responses soon, before the beeers kick in and I forget.

btw, The career record for highest pct of hits as singles (or at least it was when I stumbled across this question a few years back) is Maury Wills. There was probably a 1,000 hit minimum or something along those lines.

The actually gave the percentages: Castillo was at 84%, and all were over 75%

Does Edgardo Alfonzo qualify?

Frayed Knot Apr 26 2007 10:56 AM

For what? Nearly 30% of his hits were for xtras

Edgy DC Apr 26 2007 10:58 AM

I'm guessing that the last three years they weren't.
