How could you forget that Clay Bellinger played two games for the 2002 Angels?

In his single plate appearance he struck out. I don’t believe he was on their post season roster, although it is doubtful that the Angels would have made it to the post season without his contribution.

LOL I missed that game I guess. OK, thanks.

I didn’t say he was on the playoff roster. It’s just interesting that between the two of them they appeared in 6 seasons with all the teams going to the World Series.

When I saw all the posts to this thread I got excited that somebody had actually answered by question...

Oh well.

Another HR today and a few more RBIs. Of course, he hit this off T Williams (Ted?, or some other pitcher who lost his head before facing Bellinger).

His slugging pct. is .913.

I don't know the answer, but I found that Jimmie Foxx had 109 in his first 32 games in 1932 and Chuck Klein had 107 in his first 32 games in 1930

Hi Doug,

The Dodger announcers did comment on the earlier season staring date, but only in relation to Chase Utley's record for most total bases by May 1. They said Bellinger had broken Utley's record in fewer games played as well as by May1, but didn't discuss any other scenarios. If you don't use a date to compare, then it can get pretty random, like most total bases after 37 games, then 38 games, to the point where, who cares. But baseball announcers are pretty good at coming up with random statistics and comparisons.

It is interesting to watch Bellinger this year, He has cut his strike-outs in half (last year 27%, this year 13 1/2%), and is hitting the ball hard nearly every time he makes contact. I'm sure pitchers will adjust how they pitch him. I've been a fan of his since his rookie year and he is the only current Dodger I collect game used items of.

Yes people do go to the water cooler section. Hope that answers your question.
