Statistics - I love ‘em

I have been fascinated by some of the statistics that have been amassed by some of the major leaguers. Viewing some players numbers has amazed me. My Baseball memorabilia are these amazing stats.

Here are a few achievements I thought might interest you.

Rogers Hornsby

From 1921 to 1925 he batted 2679 times -

He hit safely 1078 times

And averaged .402 during this five year run. Not too shabby

From ages 36 to 41 - his final six years in the Majors

he batted 350 times total

Hit safely 105 times and fell 70 hits short of

3000 hits for his career. Maybe he could have planned better

Lou Gehrig

From 1930 to 1934 he drove in 813 runs

An average of 162 RBIs per year - Enough said

The man was a run producing machine

Ty Cobb

He had 1937 RBIs in his career

He never hit more than 12 home runs in a single year

Seven times he knocked in over 100 runs

Runs Batted In

This following stats are based on a per game basis

Here are a few of the highest numbers

As you can see - no one player averaged one run per game

Lou Gehrig .921

Hank Greenburg .915

Joe Dimaggio .885

Jimmy Foxx .859

Hey where’s The Babe?
