Mark Lemke had 3,664 career plate appearances but was never hit by a pitch. It is the major league record.

Conversely, Hughie Jennings holds the all time record for HBP with 287.

Baseball really was the national pastime. So much so that the OSS specifically designed a grenade to mimic the size, weight and shape of a baseball, so that troops would be more accurate with their throws with less training. The T-13 design failed for other reasons but it was issued during the end of WWII.

Gaylord Perry was an outstanding hitter, during batting practice only. He routinely hit balls to the warning track.. During games he was awful.

While watching batting practice a reporter commented to Giant Manager Alvin Dark about Perry's "powerful" swing. Dark replied "A Man will land on the moon before Perry hits one out".


Well, The Perry brothers set a Major League record winning 3 games in one day. Jim won a suspended 16 inning game from the day before against Seattle, then his regular start. Gaylord beat the Dodgers.

The date was July 20,1969

The day man landed on the moon.

Perry's first at bat after the moon landing was the first home run of his Major League career after nearly 500 at bats.

Barry Bonds reached base safely 376 times in 2004. He only had 373 official at bats.

Hank Aaron is the only member of the 700 home run club to also get 3,000 hits. If you subtract his 755 bombs, he would still have 3,000 hits.

Ruth homered and walked so much that even with his .342 average he didn’t get 3,000.

This is in danger of changing very soon.

Phil Niekro is the last pitcher to win 20 games in a season and lose 20 games in a season. 21-20 in 1979. He tied his brother Joe for the most wins in the NL that year.

While Tommy James' late 60s hits "I Think We're Alone Now" and "Mony Mony" both made it into the top ten of the Billboard charts, it would be nearly 20 years before they each made it to number one. In back to back weeks in 1987, as covered by Tiffany and Billy Idol respectively.

Isn't Babe Ruth the first MLB player known to work out with a personal trainer?
