Yep.  Weirdly good year.

Question #121:

Six Hall of Famers in history have strung together six consecutive games of 2+ RBI.  One did it twice.

Name the three who did it in a season where they also led the league in RBI.

(All the years in question are post-1920)

You got one of them already.

Gehrig did it in 1931, when he drove in 185.

None of the rest ever managed the streak part.

I'll give a hint.  The other two did it in the '20s and' 50s respectively.

If it's too tedious a question, I can add more qualifiers.  I'll also add that while he was technically the only one to take the streak to 7 games, Hack Wilson didn't do it the year before his back-to-back RBI leader seasons.

Of these, the only other one to get the streak is Ott, but not the year he led the league.

Campanella is #2.  Accomplished the streak and led the league in '53.

Nope.

The third guy is the one who accomplished the 6-game multiple RBI streak twice (both times in the '20s).  He only led the league in RBI one of those years, though.

Neither of them.

He went by a nickname.

High Pockets?

Only nickname dude I can think of from 100 years ago

Did Thome ever get the RBI streak? He had a crazy HR streak in 2001, and Tribe had good players that year, so wondering if he did.

That's the guy.  Kelly had six consecutive multi-RBI games in both '21 and '24.  Led the league in '24.

Thome finished tied for second for the longest consecutive HR streak at 7 games.  Three guys (Griffey, Mattingly, and Dale Long) have 8 games.

However, for those guys, they all had at least one game in there where the HR was their only RBI of the game.

Question #122

This HOFer at age 40 (who had 500+ HR at the time) had a 2 HR game off of a 41 year old HOFer who had over 300 wins at the time......2 months later that same HOF hitter hit 3 HR (his final multi HR game) in a game and the three different pitchers in that game that he hit HR off of totaled 7 top 5 Cy young finishes and 2 Cy Young awards (all 3 pitchers had top 4 Cy finishes in their career.

Name that HOF batter and name the HOF pitcher of the 2 HR game
