Pictures are preferred in the post, but are not mandatory. To demonstrate these simple rules let's get started with the first number

1. The number of perfect games in World Series history.




Who's next? Number 2 should not be too difficult.

Edit: I think Johnny Vander Meer would be a better answer for #2

Good lord the thread has been corrupted in 3 posts. I really thought it would last longer than that.

For low information forum members the post number is the little white number on the blue background in the upper right corner of each post.

Ummmmmm...I corrupted the post? I literally put in the correct response. You even edited your post to show Vander Meer as #2...

Edit: didn't see I was the third post, thought I was second. Oh well. Sorry, Frank

Ok, post 4 so #4.

#4. Most homeruns hit by an individual player in an MLB game

[Carter08]

5 home runs by a team in one inning.

[darwinbulldog]

6 grand slams in a season (Mattingly, 1987)

[gonzo]

7 hits by the same player in a nine-inning game

[Peter_Spaeth]

8 Most consecutive games with a HR. Dale Long and I think Griffey and Mattingly also did it.

#9
Jersey number of the last player to hit .400.

During an amazing one-week stretch in the spring of 1968 (May 12–18), Howard hammered 10 home runs in 20 at bats, with at least one in six consecutive games; his 10 home runs are also the most ever in one week. He would go on to hit 13 homers in 16 games, a mark that still stands, matched only by Albert Belle in 1995.

My favorite player.

The judges don't like that one. 9 has to be the record.

I believe that Gil Hodges hit 4 HR in one game but he shares the record.

#32
Los Angeles Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani hit his major-league leading 32nd home run of the season on Wednesday July 8th, 2021, breaking Hideki Matsui's MLB record for long balls in a single season by a Japanese player.

[rats60]

14 most consecutive Opening Day starts by a pitcher, Jack Morris.

[Peter_Spaeth]

15 most strikeouts in a LCS game. I know Clemens did it and I believe there is a second pitcher.

#35
Best start in MLB history. 1984 Detroit Tigers 35-5, finished 104-58 winning the World Series that year.

[Eric72]

36 - Most Triples in a season: Chief Wilson, 1912

37 - Casey got it.

#37
Wes Ferrell holds the MLB record for most home runs by a pitcher with 37.
