Anyone else have any cool player stats?

uh, Walsh did in 1908 - the year he won 40. Nice Sean! Wajo didn't. Kinda the only thing Wajo didn't do.

Don Mattingly is tied for the major league record of six grand slams in one season (i believe it was 1987).

He never hit another one in his entire career.

This reminded me of this.... Hoyt Wilhelm hit a home run in his 1st at bat
and never hit another in his 20+ year career.

Lefty Grove led the Majors in wins (28) and saves (9) in 1930.

Dave Stapleton played seven years in the majors, and his batting average was lower every year - from .321 his rookie year in 1980, to .128 in a part time role in 1986.

I remember looking at the back of a 1984 Topps Mike O'Berry card and seeing his yearly hit totals five seasons into his career: 10,10,20,10,10

Going with the old time saves, how many guys have thrown a perfect game in the same year they led the league in saves? Lee Richmond, 1880

There's the well-known Stan Musial stat regarding his career hits total:

1815 hits at home
1815 hits on the road
