Who was the only outfielder to have more double plays (37) than errors (33) in his career?

Well I'm pretty stumped confused13.gif

Found that nugget in Bill James' book.

 

This player used to have the modern day NL hit streak record before Pete Rose broke it.

Now that is a clue I can work with laugh.gif

What batter struck out only 113 times in his 14 year career and also went 115 consecutive games without striking out?

Joe Sewell?

That's correct. He also had some seasons where he only struck out 3 or 4 times all season. I think these records of his will never be touched in my lifetime.

 

You're up, Test.
