Posted By: <b>Daniel Bretta</b><p>Tough to top Radbourn, but if we're talking modern era I'd have to go with DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak in 41. Followed closely by Vander Meer's back to back no hitters.

Posted By: <b>john/z28jd</b><p>Colemans 130 stolen bases is such an overlooked stat that sometimes its even credited to Rickey Henderson in 1982

Posted By: <b>Peter_Spaeth</b><p>Bob Gibson, 1968. 1.12 ERA. Think about it. Pitch 9 innings, give up 2 runs, and you have to pitch 8 shutout innings to balance it.

Posted By: <b>Anson</b><p>No the pinnacle moment but Reggie hitting four homeruns in four consecutive at-bats (three with consecutive pitches)in a World Series is darn impressive.

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>ANSON<br /><br />Indeed, you picked a great moment in recent BB history. I will<br />never forget that 6th game of the 1977 World Series. Reggie not<br />only hit three Home Runs, but he did this off 3 different Dodger<br />pitchers. And, as you said each HR was hit on the first pitch.<br /><br />In the last at bat in the 5th game he hit one, also. So, that<br />gave Reggie 4 consecutive HRs. Jackson's total for this Series<br />was 5 HRs. Reggie Smith, of the Dodgers hit 3 HRs in this Series<br />so a tricky Trivia quiz is.....How many HRs did Reggie(s) hit<br />in the 1977 W.S.?....8 all together. <br />

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>Won't say this is the greatest, but Steve Carlton winning 27 games for a team that went 59-97 is something.
