I 92's Baseball Trivia....Catch Me

• Ironman92

  

  Name the 5 players in MLB history who had the longest consecutive streaks of 100+ hits in a season by a catcher.
  
  
  Hint......Joe Torre isn't one of the answers as he never caught after 1970, thus ending his streak at the catching position.
  
  
  
  
  I can't wait for one of the supposed good guesses.

  Gary Carter?
• BigAppleBuckeye

  

  Johnny Bench has to be one

  hmmm, how about Jorge Posada?
• Ironman92

  

  Posada....like many good guesses had an injury year just recently and broke up his streak
  
  Carter is a great guess but nope.....
  
  Bench is tied for 2nd place with 12 consecutive
• BigAppleBuckeye

  

  only 1 out of 3, ouch! haha
  
  Maybe Mike Piazza? I know he had one injury year which may have messed up the streak

  I believe Piazza stopped at 10 consecutive.....which is just of the top 5.....though I think Mike is ust one of 7 catchers to go for 10 or more.

  Ivan Rodrigues is the all-time leader with 18 consecutive (and currently leads MLB in batting average)
  
  Yogi Berra and Johnny Bench are tied for 2nd at 12 apiece.

  Mickey Cochran? Roy Campanella?
• Ironman92

  

  Mickey Cochrane is one of the answers at 11 straight
  
  
  still need one more
• Ironman92

  

  Despite his 3 MVP's (not sure he deserved 2 of them) Roy Campanella's longest streak of 100+ hit seasons was just 5

  ted simmons?
  carlton fisk?
• BigAppleBuckeye

  

  Ted Simmons? Tony Pena? No clue, this was a great question ...
• Ironman92

  

  thank you killdeer!
  
  Simmons has the 2nd most hits for a catcher.....but never topped 10 consecutive seasons of 100+
  
  CARLTON FISK......his highest consecutive streak of 100+ hits in his illustrious HOF career.......T-H-R-E-E
• Ironman92

  

  ^^^^^^^^^^ I wasn't trying to sound like an ass...but may have, my apology.....just believe Fisk (though great) was overrated.
  
  
  still need the final answer

  I don't disagree with that assessment of Fisk.
  that is a very interesting stat.
  the last player must be one of the HOFers from the "way back machine"
  
  Bill Dickey?
  Ernie Lombardi?

  thurman munson?

  Marson?

  C. Fisk. B. Dickey. And a flyer will C. Simmons.
• Ironman92

  

  Bill Dickey is the 5th answer with 11 consecutive
• Ironman92

  

  Munson had 10 in a row at his death at age 32.....maybe could've got close to Pudge's number.
  
  
  Active.....AJ Pierynski has 9 in a row and old man Kendall has 10 consecuive to start the year.
