    Who has the most career hits?
    Who has the most career homers?
    " " steals?
    Who has pitched back-to-back no hitters?
    Name everyone who has picthed over 5000 K's.

    Like I said, these are SOOOO easy. It's just to get us warmed up and so everyone knows what to expect.

    Every answer is correct except number 4. the answer is Mel Ott who lead the Giants in homers 18 straight seasons.

    I will post new questions later today.

    I probably could have sat here all day and not thought of Mel Ott. That was a good one Tyrus.

    Cobb, doesn't Willie Keeler have the most consecutive 200-hit seasons? I think he has 8 and Boggs only has 7. Also, Ichiro had 728 hits over three seasons, one more than Sisler.
