Friday Trivia: Most Career RBIs per franchise

A_B · Post by **A_B** » Fri Aug 23, 2024 3:15 pm

Probably my last guesses...Juan Gonzalez and Raffy Palmeiro for the rangers. Not sure how much Raffy split between cubs and rangers.

Vlad Guerrero for the Nationals (Expos)?

He did set the record for most RBIs in a season with the Cubs, but I don't think he played long enough - or long enough with the Cubs - to get that high on the career list.

My next two guesses for the Cubs would be Ron Santo and Frank Chance.

Nope.

Clue: pre-Cubs!

Cap Anson?

Nats are tricky... Still, I was driving in downtown DC for a funeral and noticed they named the baseball field down off of S. Capitol Ryan Zimmerman field.

So, that's my guess for them.

ETA - The reason I said the Nats are tricky is due to the great Expos teams in the 80s. You've got Andre Dawson, Gary Carter, Tim Raines...

Was it Andre?

I feel like I'm missing an obvious one.

(It's funny, I have a pretty narrow number of years where I really paid attention to MLB... I'm so far from that place now. Kind of like I have a pretty good knowledge of the NBA in the 90s. Now I only really know the stars. And I'll cop to the fact that some of the younger stars on the Olympics, I really wasn't very familiar with a few.)

Cap Anson 1880
Ryan Zimmerman 1061

and 2nd is neither Raines, Dawson or Carter

No one w/ more RBI than Trout is that high. There's only one person above him, at 41.2%.

Colbert, Molitor and Puckett are incorrect

Is Cleveland #1 someone from the really old-timey days? Nap Lajoie?

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Mon Aug 26, 2024 11:24 am

Big Ed has the second weirdest MLB death, and that’s only because Len Koenecke got name-dropped on “Smuggler’s Blues”, my favorite episode of Archer ever.

After him. 30s

Cleveland is the last of the #1. The #2s are a bit harder but most are modern

Yup. 1084 which I think is low for a franchise like Cleveland.

degenerasian · Post by **degenerasian** » Mon Aug 26, 2024 11:37 am

Almost there

Chicago White Sox: Thomas 1465, 2nd
Kansas City Royals: Brett 1596, 2nd
LA Dodgers: Snider 1271, 2nd
Miami Marlins: Stanton 672, 2nd
Milwaukee Brewers: Yount 1406, 2nd
Minnesota Twins: Killebrew 1540, 2nd

San Diego Padres: Gywnn 1138, 2nd
Toronto Blue Jays: Delgado 1058, 2nd
Washington Nationals: Zimmerman 1061, 2nd

1 oldie, 1 post war and 9 moderns (after 70s)
