Alex Rodriguez's home run yesterday gave him 100 RBIs for a 14th straight season which was a new Major League record. A-Rod has had 100 RBIs in each of his 7 seasons in Pinstripes, which ties him for 4th best on the Yankee list in amount of RBI seasons. There have been 10 other Yankees who have had at least 5 seasons of 100 RBIs while in Pinstripes--can you name them?
Bonus Question: Derek Jeter got his 150th hit on Monday which was his 15th straight season with 150 hits. That ties the third longest streak in history and makes him one of 5 players with 150+ hits in 15 straight seasons. Who are the other 4?
Put your answers below in the comments. I will reveal the correct answers later. Good luck!

5 seasons 100 RBI's Ynakees:
ReplyDelete1. Mickey
2. Joe D
3. Yogi
4. Gehrig
5. Ruth
6. Winfield
7. Mattingley
8. Bernie
9. Maris
10 Elston Howard
Bonus 150hits in 15 straight
1. Rose
2. Cobb
3. Gwynn
4. Gehrig
Joe D had 9 100-RBI seasons, Yogi had 5, Gehrig had 13, Ruth had 12, Winfield had 6, Mattingly had 5, and Bernie had 5. So there are 7 out of the 10
ReplyDeleteMickey Mantle had only 4 100-RBI seasons and Maris had only 3. Elston Howard never had one.
As far as the bonus, Pete Rose (16 straight) is right but the other 3 are wrong.
Keep guessing!
Bonus - Rod Carew, Eddie Murray, Hank Aaron
ReplyDeleteHank Aaron (17 straight) seasons is correct for the bonus (and the record), but Carew and Murray are not. 2 more for the bonus!
ReplyDeleteTino Martinez.
ReplyDeletepaul o'neill
ReplyDeleteTino (5 seasons) is correct. Paul O'Neill only had 4 100-RBI seasons. 2 more for that question!
ReplyDeletereggie jackson
ReplyDeleteReggie only had 2 100-RBI seasons.
ReplyDeleteBonus - Cal Ripkin and George Brett
ReplyDeleteYanks - Tony Lazzeri has to be on this list
ReplyDeleteNeither Ripken or Brett are correct for the bonus, but Lazzeri (7 seasons) is correct for the original question.
ReplyDelete1 more!
i guess we forgot about an A-bomb from A-rod!!!
ReplyDeleteNo...10 besides A-Rod. Still need one
ReplyDeletelol - never mind
ReplyDeletejoe gordon
ReplyDeleteor if not that the giambino
ReplyDeleteFor the Yanks how about Bill Dickey or Thurman Munson?
ReplyDeleteFor the bonus an additional couple guesses are Ted Williams and Stan Musial----- does a break for the war disqualify them? If so then I guess Honus Wagner and Wade Boggs
Joe Gordon (3), Jason Giambi (3), Bill Dickey (4), and Thurman Munson (3) all fall short. Hint on the last answer: it's a pre-Steinbrenner Yankee.
ReplyDeleteFor the bonus, Stan The Man and Honus Wagner are correct. Nice work Alex to finish out that question (full write-up at the bottom of this ESPN article: http://espn.go.com/blog/statsinfo/post/_/id/6136/another-first-for-rockies-jimenez
Well another hint for the remaining Yankee: he played pre-World War II
ReplyDeleteEarl combs?
ReplyDeleteNope...not Earl Combs (no 90-RBI seasons, even), but another hint: he played with Combs
ReplyDeletewee willy keeler?
ReplyDeleteHaha...not even close with Keeler. His highest RBI total with the Yankees was 40. How's this for a hint: he played in the same outfield as Earle Combs...
ReplyDeleteBob Meusel
ReplyDeleteThere we go! Bob Musuel (no relation to Stan Musial) is our last Yankee. Nice work, guys.
ReplyDeleteAmazingly, only 37 Yankees have ever gotten 100 RBIs. Here is the list: http://bbref.com/pi/shareit/X4bVt
