Wednesday Pre-War Trivia
No cheating. Try this one off the top of your head.
In the history of major league baseball, what player has the most career at bats without ever having a single season with an OPS+ of 100 or greater? Hint: Not a HOFer Bonus: Who is second all time (not a pre-war player and also not a HOFer)

Also Belanger somehow managed to have a year with an OPS+ of 100. Don't ask me how. #5 on the list had over 7,300 AB's...just as a frame of reference Belanger had 5,784 AB's. Looking for #1 and a bonus of #2. Last edited by btcarfagno; 05-23-2018 at 01:52 PM.

Well I looked it up, so I'm not going to post the answer, or what I'm pretty sure is the answer, except to say that I could have sat here all day and tried naming every prewar player I could think of and probably wouldn't have thought of this guy.

He appears on the "similarity score" top 10 with #2 on the list. Probably not surprising though they played 70+ years apart.

For post-war, another light hitting SS like Eddie Brinkman? He played quite a while and no way he had a high OPS season.

I'm presuming single seasons means single, full seasons, right?

#1 has a high season of 93 OPS+. No other seasons of even 90. Haven't heard that he was some defensive genius either, so no idea why he got so many plate appearances.

Tommy Thevenow? He only hit two HRs in the majors, and they came in the same week.

OPS+ did not exist when this dude played.
No doubt I will be the answer to some trivia question based on a contrived statistic developed after my demise.

And if the baseline average is 100, I'm sure I will be much like this guy.....a career 83 mark and people questioning why I got so many times at the plate.

At different points of his career, the player in question was a teammate of both of the greatest deaf players of the era.
