I believe it was over a 22 year span. 2502 Games. He hit 3 Homeruns 712, 713, & 714 that day against Pittsburgh. Then he played one more game in which he injured his knee in the 1st inning and retired at game 2503.

Who eventually scored on the play on a double to the gap in left-center that cleared the bases and triggered a 5 run rally. They eventually won the game 7-6 in 11 innings. Where is What is a true statement. What had a sex change and became known as Where in the mid 1970's. She died in 1988 of lung cancer in Truth-Or-Consequences, New Mexico. 3rd Baseman I Don't Know went on to have a solid career. Lifetime stats showed he hit 221 Home runs and drove in 782 in a 15 seasons, collected 3 world series rings with the New York Yankees, and played in 4 All-Star Games. He later on managed in the minors and also won 2 league titles there. Short Stop I Don't Give A Darn bounced around the majors playing for several clubs finshing with the Washington Senators in 1948. Left Fielder Why wrapped up a Hall of Fame career in 1958 for the Milwaukee Braves where he teamed with a young Henry Aaron in forming one of the most feared hitting tandems ever seen in the National League. Also hit .333 in the World Series that year. Career stats show 3,091 hits 427 home runs and over 1,300 career RBI. Entered the Hall of Fame in 1964 on his second try at entry. Center Fielder Because had a career ending injury in 1943 after slamming into the wall in Wrigley Field trying to catch a line drive off the bat of Andy Pafko. Catcher Today was optioned to the minors immediately following the game mentioned in the question and never returned to the majors. He did manage 3 teams in the majors however, and had moderate success coming within 2 games of the World Series in 1965 with the San Francisco Giants. Pitcher Today also had a Hall-of-Fame career. He ended a 22 year career in 1963 with the Chicago White Sox with a record of 283-160 with an ERA of 3.29. Also was the winning pitcher of the 1949 All-Star Game and drove in a run with a squeeze bunt in the 7th inning. Elected to the Hall in 1974 on his 6th try. The right fielder remains unnamed to this day since he was banned from baseball for life for gambling on games. Even his name has been removed from all baseball records.

MIchael R was correct. Starters have higher ERAs since they pitch more innings and are left in to try to battle it out if they are hurt early in the game.  Correction, today an era under 4.0 is good.  Under 3.0 is at least a star. Most star pitchers have ERAs in the low 3s. In the last 20 years the ERA crown has been won by pitchers with an ERA above 2.50 all too often. A starter with an ERA under 3 is doing extremely well. An ERA under 2.50 is a dominating pitcher and almost always the staff ace. Anybody with an ERA under 2.50 is pretty much a Cy Young cantidate. Get the ERA under 2.00 and they are almost a lock for the Cy Young and ERA crown. Few pitchers have done it for a full season in the last 30 years. Since 75 only 9 pitchers have led their league with an ERA below 2.00. Only two  (Pedro Martinez and Greg Maddox) of those pitchers have done it twice.  Guidry, Gooden, Clemens, Ryan and Kevin Brown were the others. \n\nMiddle relief pitchers ERA can be rather distorted. Mop up pitchers who can keep thier ERA down under 5.00 are doing good. Core middle relief pitchers want to keep thier ERA below 3.00 and often can get a season or two in with ERAs below 1.00 sometimes. Depends on how they are used.  A good closer rarely has an ERA above 3.50. Many go whole careers without getting above 4.00 in ERA.  Then you have the Lee Smith method of accumulating saves. Actually Scott McGregor invented the roller coaster method Lee Smith used. Come in during a non save situation? Easy load the bases or even let a run or two come in THEN finally get the guys out. Closers who have frequent seasons above 4.00 are not effective closers. An exceptional closer will have a career ERA below 2.50. Mariano Rivera for example has a career eara of 2.32 at this moment. His worst seasonal ERA was 2.85 as a closer or set up man. Hoffman's career ERA is 2.71 and has had ERA's over 3.00 only twice as a closer. Hoffman spent a couple seasons in middle relief at the start of his career or it would be real close to 2.50.

Ed Kranepool. He started with the Mets in 1962 and I believe his last year was 1979.

I think he used steroids back from 1998 through 2002.  I think just to be fair, they should wipe out his records from those years.  And Sammy Sosa may never play baseball again, from what i heard was he retired.

JIM LAKER. HE CLAIMED 10W/INNINGS FIRST TIME.

Believe it or not, it was Derek Jeter in 2000. There were no All-Star Game MVPs until 1962, despite the fact that the All-Star game started in 1933.

1968. Denny McClain won 31 games. He was "the ace" of our staff. He was supposed to kick butt, but it was actually Mickey Lolich who won 3 games in the WORLD Series.\n\nHe even hit a homerun in that series (although I dont remember what game, or off who).
25158
Take your pick, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, or Mickey Mantle.  All three hit with power and ran with speed when they were in their prime. \n \nI believe the pitching is watered down now days with some many major league teams that there is not enough solid pitching to go around.  So it's difficult to compare today hitters with players from the 1920s to the 1970s.

Has to be Sandy Koufax.  0.95 ERA in four World Series!

I remember a Mets pitcher with that last name. In his first appearance in the big leagues, 1973, as a reliever, he walked two batters in a row in the late innings agains the Pirates. This two teams were in  a dog fight  to win the National East. When the manager( Yogui Berra?)  replaced him, he dashed out of there. He became pretty good after that. Sorry, nostalgia.
