Question #6

In 1910 Cleveland went 71-81 for the season and in 1910 Nap Lajoie only played for Cleveland….so how the fuck did he play 159 games that season?

didnt they have ties back then? So 9 ties?

I'll go with either BAD MATH or MISPRINT.

Then it should be 71-81-9

Per baseball reference of course

My guess was 9 games called for darkness or weather and weren’t official for standings but maybe stats counted

Baseball Almanac says 146 games for Nap in 1910

Roaming through the game log shows 9 ties. Did they count stats for ties back then, but they didnt go towards the record??

That has to be it….I tagged Jeremy Frank in a tweet for his thoughts.

Ties/incomplete games….I think we have it

Question #7

Since 1985 1 catcher has led the league in RBI

Name him

Ill go Pudge as "obvious" and McCann as "surpise" guesses.

Gary Carter sneak in? Hes probably the reason for 1985 cutoff lol

I like this answer

All solid guesses….all no 

Carter is the cutoff reason

Javy Lopez? If its not him, I'm out for this one. I dont know much about the catchers of the 80s or early 90s. Interest started in 1994 going to The Jake.
