The Book of Baseball Lists

By Steve Lamar

Did you know that Jim Bottomley once had 12 RBIs in a single game? Or that Jimmy Jones was the last player to pitch a one-hitter in his major league debut? And how about the Delahantys (Ed, Jim, Joe, Frank and Tom)--the only family ever to send five brothers to the majors?Facts and figures from the common to the obscure--batting statistics (average, home runs, runs scored, strikeouts, many more), pitching numbers (games, wins, losses, saves, no-hitters, one-hitters, etc.) and miscellany (from family and fielding through managers, commissioners and league presidents to world series records, the Hall of Fame, ball parks and attendance)--are all found here.
