    Surprisingly he's 23rd on the list, which the top 5 is as follows:

    1 Robin Yount 337
    2 Wade Boggs 314
    3 Dwight Evans 306
    4 George Brett 303
    T5 Andre Dawson 290
    T5 Bill Buckner 290

    Honestly I was thinking Boggs becasue of the way he used to just bounce the ball off the monster but the other four on that list really surprise me. Bill Buckner??? I wonder how many triples he could have had in the 80's if he had good knees and ankles? :lol:

    what are the four ways you can get to first base with out swinging the bat?
    (bunt counts as a swing)
    None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe that they are free.

    Walk, hit by a picth, strike out with a passed ball, and catcher's interference (guess it could happen without swinging the bat). :corn:

    Well you can get there by a balk but that's only if there's three balls which technically just makes it a walk so I guess it's being put in as a pinch runner?

    while i don't know the answer to this question, i think it's safe to assume that the cubs likely already hold the longest such streak.

    i was thinking Baltimore might be on the list with their 0-21 start back in 1988.
