Name the RBI player who is the all time leader for homeruns hit (6) on Friday the 13th.
Ill admit I started to try and cheat. But couldnt find anything on my first search. So Ill drop a guess and say Gary Gaetti. His flowing locks were a thing of beauty.
Second guess of Jack Clark, I think Gaetti and Clark are related.
I would like to name that player Englebert Dinklenut

Good guesses, but not correct.

Use the editor.
I will guess McGwire. He has a shitload of homers, and being the statman I am, he probably has the best probability of hitting the most homers on said day(s).
Reggie?
OK folks, without cheating:
Which RBI'er has the AL record for most stolen bases in a season without being caught once?
What about Davey Lopes?
Did he ever play in the AL? I seem to remember him having a long string of successful attempts.
Not lopes...
gary pettis?
Dawson
Holy cow, that's a tough one, I'm guessing someone not super fast but a good base runner. I'm making 3 guesses since it really could be anyone.
Alan Trammell
Dan Gladden
Jeff Leonard

Are you serious?
I wouldn't be shocked if it was Andre.
The Hawk would have put up Willie Mays type numbers if not for the turf in Montreal.
He still managed to swipe 300 bases and mash 400 homers --- a feat duplicated by Barry Bonds and Willie Mays. . . . and no one else (I think. . .It's been a while).
However, the hawk is not the answer to gantry's question.
I guess my problem with the Dawson guess was that he didn't even play in the AL until very late in his career when he could barely move.
I know the answer to this question.
I'll give a hint:
He is from my home state.
Bill Clinton

no. bill clinton has been caught stealing poon tang on more than one occasion.
then again, he might have went a full season with out being caught.
Lenny Dykstra
Not guessed yet....
Molitor?
DING DING DING DING!
It was Molitor with 20 SBs, 0 CS in 1994. He was 37 years old when pulled that off...
He stole 12 more the next year without getting caught...
Wow - I was thinking that it might have happened earlier in his career.
He must have really been able to read the pitchers and choose his spots.

well then. . . my hint was waaay off.
I thought it was Kevin McReynolds
stop the presses!
Kevin McReynolds
1988
21 SB
0 CS
Of course that would be nice if he were in RBI
and had done it in the AL
jackass
I would say that Kevin McReynolds is the non-RBI player most likely to be thought of as being in the game. I've done it several times myself.
I sometimes think Steve Henderson was in the game
I often think Harry of Harry and the Henderson's was in the game.
Damn
I think 88
I think mets
I think Kevin McReynolds ???
A Jackass am I

I know this because I was reading an article about Mike Hampton leading active pitchers with 15 homers. Kerry Wood was 2nd with 7.
Pitchers with double digit homers since the DH rule include Robinson's 13 and 'Nando's 10.
I think it was Jayson Stark's "useless info" article.
Useless Info my ass!

Ha! I got it from that the same article.
New RBI trivia question:
Who bats lead off for the NL All Star team on the original NES RBI?
Aaaaahhhh, Ricky Henderson Tim Raines?
Turd Ferguson!
Who bats lead off for the NL All Star team on the non-original NES RBI?
I put McReynolds on NY because he joined the team in 1987 and was a key player through 1991. He's the only starting player on the 1987 team that wasn't on the 1986, so I tend to think of him as being an RBI Met.
I'm going with Alfalfa from Our Gang
Joe Don Baker?
AC Slater?
The Donger?

Works for me, added the explanation to the Kevin McReynolds page...
A list of all players who missed out on becoming RBIers by one year (i.e. were starters/key bench players for 1987 Mets but not 1986 Mets):

Wes Gardner
California:
Mark McLemore
Devon White
Jack Howell
Greg Minton
De Wayne Buice
Detroit:
Lance Parrish
Darnell Coles
Johnny Grubb
Walt Terrell
Bill Campbell
Houston:
Gerald Young
Ken Caminiti
Larry Anderson
Minnesota:

Billy Beane
Ron Davis
Keith Atherton
New York:

San Francisco:
Chris Brown

Bob Melvin
Randy Kutcher

Mark Davis
St. Louis:
Mike LaValliere
Andy Van Slyke
Tito Landrum
Clint Hurdle
Bob Forsch
Pat Perry
That is database worthy, but what should be the page be called?
Good list Fight-on.
Houston might have been OK adding Ken-Cam to a lineup with Lopes, Davis, Bass, and Garner.
Probably good Greenwell isn't in the game since nobody would pick any team besides Bo then.
So it's not Long Duck Dong?

Well, in that case, might as well just call it the Mrs. Ryno, then.
I think "Almost RBIers" is the best name I can think of, which sucks because it's a terrible name....

...or (to rip off a movie), "Almost Famous".
I created a page entitled "Unlucky". Then again, if fknmclane broke the Database, we may never know...
