On September 26th, 1964, rookie Mel Stottlemyre, in only the 12th game of his career, shutout the Washington Senators 7-0

AND...

He was 5-for-5 at the plate...the last pitcher to get five hits in a game!

Carlos Lee had 2 more 100 RBI seasons than Mickey Mantle did (Richardson and Kubek not getting on base at all but hitting at the top of the order sure hurt such a great team's offense).

That's honestly stunning.

Reggie hit exactly 29 home runs 3 times. Those 3 seasons manage to break 4 back to back 30 home run season pairings. He would have had 4 such paired seasons if he’d hit just 3 total home runs in the right years.
