Question #119 T or F....must answer all 4 and I’m only telling how many are correct

1. Kirby Puckett has more AB in one season that any other HOFer

2. Bert Blyleven, Don Sutton and Bob Gibson....this is the order they appear on career shutout list.

3. There is a HOFer that was the active career leader in games played....and then 18 years later played in a MLB game.

4. Ichiro had 662 hits his first 3 years....he’s in 2nd place all-time

Cap Anson?

Has to be someone like that.

I'm going to go with Jim O'Rourke.  I think I saw something quirky about his seasons the other day.

Question #120:

These three HOFers are the only ones to have ever had a single season in which they had at least 20 doubles, 20 triples, and 20 home runs (they each had one apiece).

Hint: Their three respective careers took place in every decade from the 1920s to the 1990s except for the 1940s.

It’s him. He was active leader for 2 seasons back about 1885 and then Cap Anson passed him for next 12 seasons, Cap retired. O’Rourke came back in 1904 and pitched a game at like age 53.....(Beat the Reds lol)

So the answers never played any in the 40’s?

I’ll answer Clemente....wanted to say Musial/DiMaggio 

Willie Mays seems like the best answer. I know Brett had 20 triples and HR....assume the doubles machine topped 20

Correct.  None of them played in the '40s.

No to all three of these.

You've got two of them right there.

Mays had 26 doubles, 20 triples, and 35 homers in 1957.

Brett had 42 doubles, 20 triples, and 23 homers in 1979.

The third, obviously, is from pre-1940s.
