What about the ones KCGHOSt mentioned?

[Brooklyn]

according to the encyclopedia don sutton had 136 hits and never hit a home run.

There is something wrong with your source. Sutton had 195 career hits without a homerun, and as KCGHOST pointed out, Hoyt had 255. I'm sure there are many others with 100 hits an no homeruns, too. Orel Hershiser, for example, had 163 career hits and no homeruns. Billy Pierce had 203. Dutch Leonard had 177. Bump Hadley had 190. Howard Ehmke had 210. Fritz Ostermueller had 175. etc, etc.

yes i was mistaken there is a spot next to pitcher hrs in my encyclopedia that says sh i thought it stood for safe hits it was sacrifice hits.

[soberdennis]

Any good source will just abbreviate hits with an h, not sh.
