Interestingly, it would be 13 years after Joe's win that an African American pitcher would win a World Series game for an American League team...

FKIM01 Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 The Cardinals just set a franchise record for consecutive victories. Which team has the longest record for consecutive victories and how many were there? (I don't know the answer...LOL...but I'm confident someone here does.)

I forget the exact year, but it was early in the 20th century... I remember it from when the Lakers won 33 in a row in the early 70s for the longest winning streak in pro sports history.

Billingsley99 Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Some Reds Triva here. Name the 5 players that since 1970 that collected their 1st hit as a Red and then went on to get 2000 + hits for their career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to guess that's mostly members of the Big Red Machine and Ken Griffey Jr., but I can't say that they all started with the Reds...so without looking, Bench, Rose, Foster, Morgan and Griffey Jr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty good on the kick saves as well. He and Eric Davis were my favorites for that time period. https://www.google.com/search?q=paul+o+neil+kicks.ball&oq=paul+o+neil+kicks.ball&aqs=chrome..69i57.9017j0j7&client=ms-android-verizon&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:d69ce20e,vid:7mIqBJqPV0o,st:0 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
