Baseball Trivia

Hank Aaron hit 755 home runs on his way to Cooperstown.  All cleared the fence.

Except one.

Name the HOF'er who served up Aaron's only inside-the-parker.

That pitcher should pass a law against in park home runs ;-)

This comment has nothing to do with the trivia question, but rather than create a separate post ...

On this date in 1941, Joe DiMaggio began his 56-game hitting streak. This has to be one of baseball's records least likely to be broken, yes?

I think it was Jim Bunning of the Phillies. I was 10 years old and the Braves had only been in Atlanta for a year or two.

Richard is indeed correct (given the answer, perhaps we should say
"politically" correct!).

It happened on May 10, 1967.

Least likely baseball record to be broken:

a) Career losses: 316?

b) 2 no hitters in a row?

c) Season losses by a pitcher: 27 (live ball era)
