Default Un-sung record holders

Bill Joyce was an excellent player for 8 MLB seasons in the 1890's. He had a career OBP of .435 with 822 runs scored and 266 stolen bases in 4,163 plate appearances. Despite leading the NL in home runs in 1996, he didn't play in MLB after 1898, his year-30 season. But, in 1891 he reached base in 64 consecutive games, a record not broken until 1941. In addition, in 1897 he had four triples in one game, a record he still holds in a tie.
