If you've been a regular to my little slice of the internet here you know I love working with numbers. Looking for material for my newest hobby making sporcle quizzes I got a bit distracted and found some fun numbers.
Davy Force had 1 career home run in 4406 plate appearances (or 4407, Baseball Reference and Fangraphs have different numbers). Pete Rose had 15861 plate appearances. If Force had made it to Rose's number he would have had 3.6 HR's. Force was listed at 5' 4" 130 lbs, not surprising he wasn't a power hitter. If Barry Bonds had made it to 15861 PA's he would have had 959 HR's.
Rod Barajas has 1 triple 3139 at bats. Sam Crawford had 309 triples in 9570 AB's. With Crawford's AB's Barajas will make it to 3.
Bill Bergen played 11 seasons with a career line of .170./.194/.201 with a career year in 1903 of .227/.252/.266***
Russ Nixon and John Cassidy combined for 5146 AB's and had less stolen bases (0) than Steve Balboni**** (1).
Frank Tavares had 214 RBI in 4043 AB's. Along with 2 HR's and 474 strikeouts. That's a HR/AB ratio of 1/2021.5 and a K/AB ratio of 1/11.7.
