Fidrych was close...he went 19-9 his rookie year, and only won 10 more after that! |

No cheating now. Name five men who won the rookie of the year award (hitters, not pitchers, not a trick question) and ended up with fewer than 500 career hits. |

On April 18, 1950, Jethroe became the first black player on the Boston Braves roster, and collected two hits including a home run. He was named Rookie of the Year that season at age 33 (although he was then believed to be 28) after hitting .273 with 100 runs, 18 home runs and 58 runs batted in; his 35 stolen bases topped the NL, and were the most by a Brave since Hap Myers stole 57 in 1913. He remains the oldest player to have won Rookie of the Year honors. Jethroe enjoyed an almost identical but perhaps slightly improved season in 1951 when he posted better figures in batting (.280), runs (101), RBI (65), hits (160), doubles (29) and triples (10), and again hit 18 homers. He also repeated his 35 steals, once again to lead the league. But in 1952 he slumped badly, hitting .232, and reportedly had vision trouble; rumors were also circulating that he was older than his listed age. His career was also marked by difficulty in the outfield, as he led the NL in errors in each of his three full seasons, though he also led the league with 6 double plays as a rookie; his arm was not as accurate as those of most major league center fielders, and it was believed that he was playing too deep. In addition, he was among the NL's top four batters in strikeouts each year. On June 7 of his last year with the team, he hit the final grand slam in Boston Braves history before the club moved to Milwaukee. |

Either you are a baseball genius or you are consulting a reference source. Hamelin it is. |

No genius here. Jethroe came to me immediately because I was a kid in those days and kept up lots better than I do now. As noted above, Sam (The Jet) spent the great majority of his career in the Negro Leagues, getting to Boston when he was well into his thirties, and so seemed a logical first choice. And of course Kenny Hubbs was killed in a plane crash after only two full seasons with the Cubs. |

tim hudson is right as well. this is his 10th season and he has had a winning record in all of them. also i believe hudson has the highest winning percentage out of any pitcher other than whitey ford. 655 vs 690. after just 10 seasons hudson is 146-77. pretty incredible for this era in particular. |

He was 18-18 one year, not a winning record. If the question is pitchers who never had a LOSING records, there are others. Alexander for one, I believe. Maybe Hubbell as well. |

As a variation on the original question of this thread, there is only ONE player to make the team out of spring training as a rookie (no prior major league experience--minors only), played over 150 games, then faded into oblivion as a player and never played another major league game (his entire major league career stats are on 1 line). Who is this nice man? |

thebaseballcube isn't showing a single minor league game for winfield. and even if he did a rehab stint, i meant it was incredible he made the jump with no professional experience at all. |

Bob Maier, who played for Detroit right at the end of WWII. Only played in 132 games (not the 150 required here), but hit a respectable .263, including seven triples. In fact Detroit won the pennant with him at third, though he was replaced by Jimmy Outlaw in the Series, which the Tigers won. And then Hank Greenberg came back from the service and George Kell joined the club the following spring, and Mr. Maier never surfaced again. It's probably not him, but it's worth knowing anyway. |

Rich is right--Sparky Anderson played 152 of 154 games with the 1959 Phillies. |
