RBIer Major League Records

[BeefMaster]

I was thinking that it would be cool to have a list of all the MLB records held by RBIers (team records would get a little long, I think).  Post any records you can find here; it might be a neat addition to the Miscellany page.  Here are a few to start with:

Nolan Ryan
- Strikeouts in a season (383)
- Strikeouts in a career, pitcher (5714)
- No-hitters in a career (7)

Roger Clemens
- Cy Young Awards (7)

Reggie Jackson
- Strikeouts in a career, batter (2597)

Kent Hrbek
- Career homeruns indoors (166; I'm not sure whether this has been broken since his retirement - Griffey would be the most likely culprit, thanks to Kingdome)

[Gantry]

Great idea beef, why aren't you bitches adding to this?  

Bert Blyleven
    - Most HRs allowed in a season (50)

[TβG]

where are some good places to search?  can we search it by the name of the player, that would be faster than looking at a pge of major league record holders.

Smacking my forehead that I forgot this one:

Others, from a quick scan of the rosters on Dee-Nee and the leaders on baseball-reference.com...

Jim Rice
- Grounded into double plays, season (36; he's also #2, Ripken's tied for 3rd, and Armas is tied for 6th)

Retardedness has been noted, and the proper changes have been made.

And you're welcome for all the other correct research I did. Ungrateful bastards...

For some reason, your bitterness made me chuckle.  I've been in that situation fighton.  Kudos on the research; you are very underappreciated.
