Matt
You got it!!! Rickey did it first and then Vince did it a couple of years later. in fact, I believe Vince did it 3 years in a row!
Actually, "Sliding" Billy Hamilton stole 102 and 111 bases for the Philadelphia Phillies in 1890 and 1891.
So I think the correct answer is Hamilton and then Rickey Henderson with 130 and 108 stolen bases in 1982 and 1983.
I would imagine these trivia questions are only using stats from the 1901 season to present when the AL was formed. **I am but the messenger.

This is a question that I do not know the answer to, but legitimately am curious to know should anyone find the correct answer:
On how many occasions, if ever, did Jim Rice strikeout 4 times in the same game?
In other words, how many times did Jim Rice have to wear the ol' Golden Sombrero?
.
I don't know @countdouglas but Mike Trout did it for the seventh time yesterday.
Really? What a coincidence...😇
If you tell me that 2 of those strikeouts were called strike 3s, with one of those ending the game, I'm not going to believe you!
trivia Tuesday! Who was the first pitcher to win at least 100 games in both the AL and NL?
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
I will guess Gaylord Perry.
Ooooops! I just looked up the answer, and that is not it...
gaylord is on the list of pitchers who accomplished the feat, but he wasnt the first one.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Jim Bunning

George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

Cy Young did it long before Jim Bunning.
Tabe got it!!!! Old Cy got it in the first decade of the 20th century

Using Jim Rice's game log on Baseball Reference, he played in 2089 games and ...

"Who was the first pitcher to win at least 100 games in both the AL and NL?"
"Old Cy got it in the first decade of the 20th century"
Cy Young won 286 games in the National League for the Cleveland Spiders and St. Louis Perfectors/Cardinals from 1890 to 1900.
So the answer is that Jim Rice struck out 4 times in a game on only 5 occasions. Thank you.
not sure the point of your post? are you trying to pick a fight?
this is supposed to be a light-hearted fun thread. if it is bothering you, feel free to pass on by.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

Is this shown somewhere as a stat on baseball reference or did you have to go through each game?

I am sure Griffey would have been part of that club if not for all the injuries. Ruth certainly would have been if not for pitching for 5 years.

I must be senile. Who did Schmidt catch for? I'm drawing a complete blank?
