THERE it is.  Bags put up 40 doubles and 43 homers in '97, same year Larry did it.

Question #76:

Which three Hall of Fame non-pitchers hit 10+ home runs in a single season while still in their teens?

Hint: It was done in the '20s, '50s, and '80s.

I still sometimes forget he's in the Hall, so I can't blame you.

Good lord.

Yeah.  All three.

Fun tidbit: Yount had more than 10 home runs in his teens, but he did it over two seasons.

I knew that. I’ve had cards on my lap the last two days and baseball reference sent me an email telling me to settle the fuck down.

I was hoping so, but I figured that seemed almost too specific to be a joke.

I was about to applaud you for being able to actually use up enough bandwidth of theirs to warrant that.  That'd be impressive.

Are there any pitchers who hit 10 in their teens? I don't think that Ruth did.

Come to think of it, I don't even know.

Just went back to check.  I don't think so.  Guess I didn't have to mention that part.

Question #77:

Only 12 players in MLB history have ever had seasons with 100+ extra base hits.

Nine of the twelve of them did it just once: Ruth, Hornsby, Foxx, Greenberg, Musial, Belle, Bonds, Luis Gonzalez, and Sosa.

Three of them did it twice.  Two of those three are Hall of Famers: Chuck Klein and Lou Gehrig

Who is the only player to have more than 100 extra-base hits in two separate seasons to not be in the Hall of Fame?

Hint: They happened in back-to-back seasons sometime after 1980.

You got it.  Helton managed over 100 XBHs in 2000 and 2001.

Yeah, he had a run where he was over or close to 50 2Bs each year. I know he never got 50 HRs, but figured he had to be close. Throw in an occasional 3B lol.

QUESTION 78:

  • There have been 8 HOF players to amass 1000 career RBI -- despite never having over 100 in a given season. 4 of them are from forever ago (Bid McPhee, Sam Rice, Eddie Collins, Fred Clarke). Can you name the 4 who started their careers post-1960?
  • Additionally, there have been 6 who only accomplished it 1x in that post-1960 timeframe.
