Un-sung record holders

I was thinking of triples when I saw this thread. Chief Wilson hit the most in a season with 36. Dave Orr is second with 31. Similar to the famous JFK quote about going to the moon..."not because they were fast, but because they were slow..." Here are a couple of Orr. I have some more cards of both of these guys that I will try and find and scan and post later this week. Also, Jose Cruz, tied with others for most triples with the bases loaded with 8. Cruz was fast.

Lave (Lafayette Napoleon) Cross had a long and productive career spanning 21 MLB seasons with 2,651 hits, but a career OPS+ of 100. When he retired in 1907, he was second to Anson in career hits. His record for assists at 3B was broken by Eddie Mathews in 1946. Since 1900, Cross is the only player to have more than 100 RBI's (he had 108) without hitting a home run. In 1896, Hughie Jennings knocked in 121 runs without a home run. But I don't have a Jennings card.

Al Orth was known as the "Curveless Wonder" as he used location and speed to win 204 MLB games (including 100 in both the AL and the NL) across 15 seasons. However, his career ERA+ was 100 as he also lost 189. After Orth earned his 199th win in 1907, it took him nine attempts to earn number 200, which remains the greatest difficulty any pitcher has had in reaching the milestone. After playing, Orth became an umpire and in 1917 he was the umpire when Toney and Vaughn each pitched 9 innings without allowing a hit, the only time two teams went hitless through 9 innings.

We have all experienced the thrill of heading to a baseball park with a ticket to see a game, the excitement rising from the knowledge that "you never know what will happen" at a baseball game. Tonight could be the night that . . . It seems the same open-ended ability to produce one-of-a-kind results also applies to careers spread out over 150 years of MLB seasons. Look closely at the career of almost any big-leaguer and you will find interesting and noteworthy accomplishments. As in life, 90% percent of it is just showing up.

Buzz Arlett was perhaps the greatest Minor League player of all time. He hit 4 home runs in a game twice and until Mike Hessman passed him in 2015, was the all time home run king of the Minor Leagues for over 70 years.
