So, tonight I am going to look around on Baseball Reference, for fun. Got any things you want me to look up?
For example: What happened in the 4th inning of the Yankees game on September 6, 2009?
What count was Mike Trout's 300th home run on? What was the pitch type?
Stuff like that. Thanks in advance!Look up the no hitter Andy Hawkins pitched for the Yanks in 1990 and LOST!!!!
Lol, not just lost , but lost 4-0 in Chicago. I remember watching that game. Those late 80s early 90s Yanks were not good.
The yankees weren't good for a time? You've got to be kidding, right?

If you can look up the least amount of pitches in a complete game. I'd be interested to see if it was under 80/85 pitches.
The shortest complete game was on August 10th, 1944. It was thrown by Red Barrett against the Reds, pitching for the Boston Braves. He needed only 58 pitches to shut out the Reds 2-0, giving up only 2 hits, and 0 walks. This is also the shortest night game ever, lasting only 1 hour and 15 minutes!
Fun fact about the game: There was no umpire at second base! Apparently that was a thing back then!

Bob Gibson - 1968 BobGibson
34 starts. 28 complete games. 1.12ERA.
Whats most amazing about this season is not the 304.2 innings, the 22 wins, the 9 losses(that seems high), the league leading 268 strikeouts, or the 13 shutouts, but he was pinch hit for six times, and was never taken off the mound!!!
his six non complete games were
Start 1 April 10 vs Atlanta. 7 innings 1 R 0 ER. Pinch hit for in the bottom of the 7th(by Bobby Tolan) even though he was 1 for 2. No decision
Start 2 April 15 at Atlanta. 7 innings 3R all earned. Pinch hit for in the top of the 8th again by Tolan. No decision
Start 7 May 12 Vs Houston. 8 innings 3 R 2 ER. Pinch hit for in the bottom of the 8th by Tim McCarver He lost the game 3-2
Start 9 May 22 vs LAD. 8 innings 1 run but lost the game to fall to 3-4 overall. McCarver again in the bottom of the 8th.
Start 23 Aug 4 vs Cubs. 11 innings 5 runs 4 earned. They lost 6-5 in 13 innings. Phil Gagliano pinch hit for him
Start 30 Sep 6 vs Giants. First of a double header. 8 innings 3 runes 2 earned. He took the loss in a 3-2 game. Johnny Edwards PH for him.
Thats it. 28 complete games. Four extra innings complete games. Four eight inning complete games, including losing a 1-0 game to Gaylord Perry who threw a no hitter in 1:40 on Sep 17th.
From June 6 to July 30 he started 11 games, completing them all for 99 innings, and allowed three runs.

I guess that shortens my time!I was just reading through the thread and I thought I could add something that I think is unique considering how pitchers are treated currently.

That is totally fine!
If you are interested in that stuff, I recommend reading The Arm by Jeff Passan. GREAT read that talks about that. -

I know in the 80's the Oakland Athletics had three Rookie of the Years in a row. (Canseco, McGwire and Walt Weiss)
Have any other modern teams done this or gone four in a row?
The Dodgers have done 5 and 4 in a row.

@thinkbluedgr said in Baseball Reference:
Can you do some research on complete games? I know Fernando had something like 20 or 21 his rookie season in 81. Is that a season record? who holds all time record? who's top 5? I know the old timers are going to rule this stat but I'm curious.
I can do this later tonight! Any other random facts I can look up?
Also: Each of you give me a random date, inning, and number of outs. -

How about what team hit the most home runs in a 9 inning game?
Did any one player hit 5 home runs?
Who had the most 4 home run games?
which stadium has recorded the most home runs? -

First off, yes, the old timers rule that stat. lol
I could not find the single season one, but was able to get the leaderboard.
1: Cy Young with 749
2. Pud Galvin with 646
3: Tim Keefe with 554
4: Kid Nichols with 532
5: Walter Johnson with 531
EDIT: When looking at the single season record, it has the winner with 75 CG. Umm, that is not correct. lol -
