Got the idea from the Mantei thread. Can you name the all-time franchise leaders for the following categories? (For purposes of this quiz, Braves = Boston, Milwaukee and Atlanta; Nationals = Montreal and Washington; Twins = Washington and Minnesota, etc.) [u:7c9049affa]Offensive Categories[/u:7c9049affa] Diamondbacks - Stolen Bases Cubs - RBI White Sox - Runs Indians - Home Runs Tigers - Games Marlins - Hits Angels - Home Runs Dodgers - Hits Twins - Home Runs Yankees - Hits Athletics - Hits Giants - RBI Devil Rays - Home Runs Rangers - Hits Blue Jays - Hits [u:7c9049affa]Pitching Categories[/u:7c9049affa] Braves - Strikeouts Orioles - Saves Red Sox - Losses Reds - Games Rockies - Wins Astros - Wins Royals - Strikeouts Brewers - Strikeouts Mets - Losses Phillies - Saves Pirates - Innings Pitched Padres - Wins Mariners - Innings Pitched Cardinals - Saves Nationals - Games Met content: 7 of the answers are Mets players.

Colrado, where pitchers go to die. Astros - Wins - Roy Oswalt Royals - Strikeouts - Kevin Appier (playing the Mets connection angle here) Brewers - Strikeouts - Ben Sheets Mets - Losses - Tom Seaver Phillies - Saves - Mitch Williams Pirates - Innings Pitched - Um, can we talk hitters please? Padres - Wins - Randy Jones (Again, playing the Mets angle, and he was good for a short time) Mariners - Innings Pitched - Jamie Moyer or Randy Johnson Cardinals - Saves - Bruce Sutter Nationals - Games - Steve Rogers was good for a long time on some bad Expos teams. If you mean only since the franchise moved to Washington, then who cares?

Yeah, let's get some clarity. Do the Nats' records include the Expos? Do the Rangers' records include the Senators? Etc.

Re-clarification -- (I thought it was clear in the initial post!)

DocTee got 10, Rockin' Doc 6 and AG/DC 12.

AG/DC Mar 07 2008 10:22 PM

Gentle reminder that he's a non-reading dope.

AG/DC Mar 07 2008 10:24 PM

I'll replace Rauch with ex-Met Tim Burke.

Guesses or not, you still did get 4 right. Even though Quilvio Veras wasn't a pitcher. Did you maybe mean Dan Quisenberry?

Frayed Knot got 4.

Gwreck Mar 08 2008 12:54 PM

Correct Answers Offensive Categories Diamondbacks - Stolen Bases Tony Womack - Rockin' Doc, AG/DC Cubs - RBI White Sox - Runs Frank Thomas - Nymr83 Indians - Home Runs Jim Thome - Doc Tee, Rockin' Doc, Nymr83 Tigers - Games Al Kaline - Rockin' Doc. Kaline had just 28 more games as Tiger than Cobb. Marlins - Hits Angels - Home Runs Dodgers - Hits Twins - Home Runs Harmon Killebrew - DocTee, Rockin' Doc, AG/DC, Frayed Knot Possibly the easiest, although I would always forget Killebrew as a 500 homer guy. Most of the franchise records are his, Puckett's or Walter Johnson's. Yankees - Hits Lou Gehrig - DocTee, Rockin' Doc, AG/DC Jeter needs only 366 to take over the franchise lead (he's still behind Mantle and Ruth, and passed DiMaggio this year). Athletics - Hits Bert Campaneris - Rockin' Doc Henderson is third. Giants - RBI Mel Ott - AG/DC Ott (1860) has exactly one more RBI as a Giant than Mays. Bonds third, McCovey fourth. Devil Rays - Home Runs Aubrey Huff - DocTee, Nymr83 Huff 128; McGriff second with 99. Rangers - Hits Pudge Rodriguez - Frayed Knot Pudge has 31 more than Palmeiro. Gonzalez 3, Michael Young 4, Sierra 5. Blue Jays - Hits Tony Fernandez - AG/DC Delgado is second. He also leads Toronto in HR, RBI and Runs. Pitching Categories Braves - Strikeouts John Smoltz - Nymr83 Smoltz-Niekro-Spahn-Glavine-Maddux. Smoltz passed Niekro this past season. Orioles - Saves Gregg Olsen - Frayed Knot Tippy Martinez is #2. Red Sox - Losses Tim Wakefield - DocTee Wakefield is entering his 14th(!) season with Boston. He is still 34 wins behind Young and Clemens though (who are tied at #1 for Boston). Reds - Games Pedro Borbon - AG/DC Thought this was the toughest one in the whole quiz. Rockies - Wins Jason Jennings - DocTee Jennings 58; Astacio 53; Francis 47. Astros - Wins Joe Niekro - AG/DC Larry Dierker was #2. Oswalt (#3) is still 32 wins behind Niekro. Royals - Strikeouts Kevin Appier - Rockin' Doc Mark Gubicza is #2. Brewers - Strikeouts Teddy Higuera - DocTee, AG/DC Ben Sheets will take over in 2008 (he's currently 38 behind). Mets - Losses Jerry Koosman - DocTee, AG/DC Phillies - Saves Pirates - Innings Pitched Bob Friend - AG/DC The hardest ex-Met to get in the quiz. Padres - Wins Mariners - Innings Pitched Cardinals - Saves Jason Isringhausen - DocTee, AG/DC I expected some Lee Smith guesses. Nationals - Games Tim Burke - DocTee, AG/DC Fernandez, Appier, Koosman, Friend, Isringhausen and Burke are the Mets correctly identified so far. One more outstanding.
