Trivia you should know without looking it up

Not sure why you think it's a team from 2020, since it was only a 60-games schedule...unless, Frank is being sly again and there were a bunch still on the roster, but not playing because of the virus.

However, I was 'assuming' Frank was talking about what constitutes 'active rosters'.

Short season but expanded rosters with very little or no minor league baseball being played at the time.

I'm going to say it's AL because of DH. I'm guessing Rays. It seems like they use every pitcher in their system and have a lot of injuries. Maybe 2019? (seems like it coulda been last year too, but I think it was a record of most unique batting orders in history?)

NL had no DH in 2020.

(Meant to say, had a DH that season)

I remember reading the Mariners used a record 42 pitchers in 2018 or 2019, so I would guess them.

Ah, you might be on to something there. Thought I had it. Guess not.

Originally I thought the 2019 Mariners with 29 players without a plate appearance was the answer, but it has been pointed out to me that the 2020 Marlins had 36 players without plate appearances. I have been unable to find another team with 30 or more such players.

Therefore the 2020 Marlins are the top team and it isn't even close.

I realize this is no distinction and if anybody really cares, I would question their sanity.

And thanks for not cheating.

NL had the DH in 2020 so that makes sense.
