Default stupid baseball trivia
Posted By: jay behrens

George Gore drew 102 walks in 118 games in 1886 when it took seven balls to draw a walk.

Guy Hecker is the only pitcher to win the batting title, hitting .342 in 1886 for Louisville of the AA. In 1884 he also became the only pitcher to lead the league in both wins and HRs.
