Before Wade and Ichiro

TreAnt985 · 05-03-2002, 10:37 PM

Who held the AL record for most games with a hit (season) before Wade Boggs hit in 135 games in 1985, and later tied by Ichiro Suzuki? How many did they have?

guess. appling in his high average season?

TreAnt985 · 05-03-2002, 10:54 PM

Nope, it wasn't Appling.

Well..Sisler held it a while ago, with 130. But a guy broke it after him (obviously) and before Boggs had 135.

I should say that, according to what year or source you use, you may get different people. The same book (in diff. years) claims that someone over 80 years ago had the record (Sisler), then that someone 25 years ago held it, but then later say that someone just under 80 years ago holds it.
So obviously, this record kept changing until just recently.

I guess Joe Torre

Nope. Of the 2 people I would accept (since the record seems to change in the older books), only one has played in the last 70 years.

I would guess Rod Carew

Carew is one of the people I was looking for!
He had hits in 131 games in 1977.
The other person I'm looking for had hits in 133 games.

BBapplepie · 05-04-2002, 06:21 PM

Willie Wilson, he had 230 hits with only 28 bb.

By my count, he hit in 126 games.

TreAnt985 · 05-12-2002, 11:03 AM

The other guy I was looking for was Al Simmons in 1925.
Here's a list of the most games with a hit, that I have found:

Code:

Chuck Klein	1930	135
Wade Boggs	1985	135
Ichiro Suzuki	2001	135
Rogers Hornsby	1922	135
Derek Jeter	1999	135
Al Simmons	1925	133
Rod Carew	         1977	131
George Sisler	1920	130
Lefty O'Doul	1929	130
