Man, this is baseball. You gotta stop thinking. Just have fun.
- Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez, in The Sandlot

I've been going to games since August 8, 1973....and on August 22, 2004, finally, a foul ball came my way. I had to reach for it, and it deflected off the tip of my right index finger. Shoot, if I was only 4 inches taller!

Have you read The Baseball Same Game?

15th all time (since 1900).

But, what exactly do you want to define as his "era"?

over the course of Whitey's career, no other pitcher really comes close to Whitey's RSAA
the closest is Jim Bunning with 255

CrazyDiamond answered it for me, I should have been specific but I was looking for 1950->1970
