Who has the career record for triples?
Who has the highest ratio of triples to at bats?
Who has the highest ratio of triples to total hits?

(for the two ratios, minimum 3000 at bats)

I'm going to guess that it was one of the stars of the dead ball era, when outfields were immense (and sometimes oddly shaped), the ball wasn't as lively, and home runs were harder to hit. So it could have been Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker, Honus Wagner, Eddie Collins, Joe Jackson, Nap Lajoie, Ed Delahanty, or someone like that.

Since it was a trivia post, I thought you might have meant since the divisional structure was established in 1969.  

Of course, the answer is the same as always, Los Angeles at the top (although they currently find themselves in a tie with SF).

Well, the Giants and Dodgers share first place in the NL West with today’s game between the two set to determine who stands alone for at least the next 24 hours.

Great game last night between the teams’ aces with Webb prevailing 6-2 thanks to his pitching and Casey Schmitt’s first ever grand slam.

Go Gyros!

There have been 106 splash hits in Oracles 25 year history. Barry Bonds has the most, at 35.  Who’s second?  Bonds hit the first one, on May 1, 2000.  In fact, Bonds hit the first nine.  Who hit the tenth.  Bonds is also the only Giant to do it twice in a game, and though it’s not officially a splash hit if it’s hit by a visiting team, one other player has hit two balls I to the Bay; who was it?

Correct, BC.  The Falcons started play in 1966.  

As for your Q, Texas Rangers (née Washington Senators v.02).  The Sens started play in 1961.  It took a guy like Bruce Bochy to get the job done.

Down 10-0, the SF Giants used backup catcher Logan Porter, called up from AAA earlier this week, as their 8th inning reliever tonight at Dodger Stadium.

How many pitches did he need to retire the side, and what was the average speed of his pitches thrown?
