Tony Gwynn could have ended his career 0 for 1,182 and still have a career .300 average. That stat is mind boggling to me! It was an honor to watch him hit. Gone way too soon. We miss you Tony.
These two have the same amount of postseason wins without TB. 😉
The top guy did it in 140 games.
The bottom guy 35 games. 🏈

from 2004-2006, Tiger Woods had 1,463 putts on the PGA Tour from 3 feet and inside.
he missed 3 of them.

Cy Young completed 749 games
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Jim Brown played 9 seasons. he led the league in rushing in 8 of those. The one season he didnt, he had a wrist injury in the 4th game that affected the way he carried the ball. He still ended up with 1500 yards from scrimmage.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
He disagrees

And 1000 wins. Ok 500+ without looking up the exact #
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
Johnny Vander Meer in MLB pitched two consecutive no hitters.
To break that record, a pitcher would need to throw three in a row.
Most stats aren't mind blowing, but the one I find most impressive has to do with Joe Dimaggio. We heard of Babe Ruth out homering every team in the league, and that is impressive.
What a lot of people don't realize is that Joe Dimaggio played in the most difficult park in history for Right Handed batters and it really hid how good he was.
Keep in mind that Dimaggio wasn't just a home run hitter, but.....
In 1937 Joe Dimaggio hit 19 home runs at HOME in 306 at bats.
Every other RH hitter in the league had 3,029 at bats IN YANKEE STADIUM that year.
In those 3,029 at bats at Yankee stadium, they only hit 32 home runs.
Joe Dimaggio is actually one of the most underrated players ever. In addition to his severed handicap as a right handed hitter in death valley, he also lost years to WWII.
...
Did the Babe call his shot?
Does Joe DiMaggio dunk his donuts?
These are the questions that give this place life!!!! Why? Because... this is the show

Tatis Sr two grand slams in the same inning. Not sure anyone else has ever had two basesloaded at bats in the same inning.
Randy Johnson killing a bird with a pitch
Deion Sanders scoring a NFL touchdown and hitting a homerun in MLB the same day
Wisconsin 2-6 against the SEC since 2007
Joe DiMaggios 56 game hitting streak. Little known was his record 61 game hitting streak in the minors.
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
In 1920 Babe Ruth finished the year with 54 home runs, an 86 percent increase from his record-setting 1919 total of 29. Ruth out-homered every other team in the American League
"I spent 50% of my money on alcohol, women, and gambling. The other half I wasted.
@1948_Swell_Robinson, that stat about Dimaggio is astounding. never heard of it before. really puts some things into perspective. can you imagine what he would have done in Fenway?
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
In 23 seasons played,Tom Brady never took a single NFL snap where his team was mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. His career regular season snap count was 12,094.

I had to look it up to remember how this worked. The only years the Patriots didn't go to the playoffs during his time were 2008 (only played in first game) and 2002 (his 2nd year as starter). So I couldn't remember how 2002 played out. For anyone interested, the Patriots finished their last game of the season still eligible for the playoffs, but later that day the Jets won giving them the edge and the playoff berth.
Greg Maddux faced 20,421 batters during his time in the league. In those 20,421 at-bats, only 310 hitters saw a 3-0 count. Out of those 310, 3-0 counts, 177 of them were intentional walks.

1 out of every 4 people have worms and doesn't know it.
The substantial truth doctrine is an important defense in defamation law that allows individuals to avoid liability if the gist of their statement was true.
Yup,I just double checked and NE had a 4pm game against Miami in week 17 which they won then once the game was over they lost out on the playoffs due to tiebreakers. Pretty crazy stat.

The Dolphins haven't won a First round playoff game since the year 2000.

Bonds would be the obvious choice for most career walks against Maddux
Most total walks vs GM

Most intentional walks against GM

That Maddux/Glavine/Smoltz trio was definitely something special.

Barry Bonds is the only member of the 400/400 club and 500/500 club.
Terry Bradshaw was AMAZING!!

I can not find verification, but I thought I heard that a Bruce Bochy coached team that wins the first game of a playoff series has won 13 series in a row.
One of my favorites:
During Tom Brady's NFL career, Calvin Johnson:
If you shuffle a deck of cards, chances are when you’re finished that the order the cards come up will be the first time in history that they have been shuffled in that particular order.
Similar to Tom Brady and Calvin Johnson, during Rickey Henderson's career, Kirby Puckett:
holy cow, that really gives some perspective on Tommys career!!
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Here is another one I stole from the internet:
Tom Brady played so long that 6 players who began their careers after he did have already been inducted into the Hall of Fame:
Calvin Johnson
Troy Polamalu
Ed Reed
Steve Hutchinson
LaDainian Tomlinson
Richard Seymour
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
another AMAZING Tommy statistic:
He is second all time in rushing yards for a player over 40 to Doug Flutie. 206-183!
Tommy is also second all time in receiving yards for a player over 40 to Jerry rice. 2169-6.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
This is cool 😎

Throwing the challenge flag here.
Maybe stats, but not so amazing.
I actually find it amazing he played that long and only rushed for 1123 yards.
Did Lamar Jackson catch him his rookie year or did it take him 2 years?
I must say that I put those numbers out here with my tongue firmly planted in my cheek. I know that Tommy was about as fleet of foot as a porcupine. I find it humorous that he played long enough to have his name on any rushing or receiving lists.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
I don’t know if this is truly amazing but it’s the first time I ever noticed it.
Alex Ovechkin in a 4-1 loss to Toronto this week had more shots on goal (14), then his own goalie had saves (13).
Washington outshot Toronto like 37 to 17 and lost 4-1.
When else has a player ever had more shots on goal then his own goalie had saves ?
....
Does Mahomes have permission to do sneaks again, or is he still not allowed?
Did Tom Brady ever play in a Super Bowl with/against 25 other hall of famers ?
That was done in the 1979 Super Bowl. Simply amazing.
He better not do sneaks, the last time he did his kneecap wound up on the side of his leg instead of the front which is normally where you prefer it to be. 😱
...
I know. That's when Reid shut him down. Im just giving you a hard time cuz you were bashing Brady's rushing. 🤷🏈👍👍💪💪👊👊😜🤯
Speaking of rushing I wonder what you guys think.
In 1990 RC had more total yards then JM, more TDS and less INTs but JM won league MVP.
Shouldn’t a QB get credit for his rushing and passing?
If so, RC may have got shafted in the 1990 MVP race, even though both were great.
....
The reasoning given would probably be the records. 2003, McNair, first black QB
, not player but QB,to win MVP, if that's the direction you are going. I say that only because if you look up this debate that fact comes up, so...
Well heavens no. Didn’t even know a debate existed to be honest.
Was thinking in the direction that Montana won because he had a 14-1 team and more passing yards.
Eagles were only 10-6.
...
Makes sense. Yeah, the record is the outlier.
This one gets brought up by Mark Gubicza roughly once a month on the Angels broadcast, always in the context of "he's due", which is hilarious to me because the at bat almost always ends in a strikeout. Lol
Trouty, with 368 career homeruns, has only hit 2 career homeruns in the 7th inning or later that has flipped the score from the Angels trailing to the Angels leading. One in 2014 vs the White Sox and one in 2022 vs the Rangers. (Fact check, if you desire.) Think about that the next time you're watching highlights and you see some scrub you've never heard of coming through late in the game with the big homerun that turns a loss into a win.
.
Tony Cloninger(sp?), A PITCHER!!!, Hit TWO grand slams in one 9 inning game.
Iirc.
Good ole Trouty!
I credit him for applying for permanent membership to the injured reserve list.
He is tired of letting fans down so his solution….. just stop playing.
Playing for the powerfull Montreal Canadiens and a few years with Los Angeles Larry Robinson's plus minus was + 722
since he's in the news, Dusty Baker (in the postseason) left a SP in the game long enough to allow 5 or more runs 19 times in 94 games.
Probably not too many times in a game where the goalie plays all 60.
