Three Strikes and You're Out: Decade H, HR, W, K

[AstrosFan]

Can you name the players who led each decade in, for batters, hits and home runs, and for pitchers, wins and strikeouts? Each is viewed separately, so batters and pitchers don't have to lead in both. Since I am beginning in 1871, for practical purposes, decades will run from 1871-1880, 1881-1890, and so on up through 2010. I think three strikes is enough to work with in this version.

Here are the missed answers for questions not later answered by another.


1891-1900 HR Roger Connor
1871-1880 K Monte Ward

[Spindlebrook]

Hits 1991-2000 - Mark Grace

[PVNICK]

OK I'll cherrypick a pair

K-1911-1920 Walter Johnson
HR-1921-1930 Babe Ruth

[AstrosFan]

Hits 1991-2000 - Mark Grace

Grace was oh so close, but incorrect. Strike one.

OK I'll cherrypick a pair

K-1911-1920 Walter Johnson
HR-1921-1930 Babe Ruth

Both are correct.

[GiambiJuice]

1950's HR - Duke Snider
1910's hits - Ty Cobb
2000's hits - Ichiro Suzuki
2000's HR - A-Rod?
1990's HR - Griffey Jr.?
1990's Wins - Greg Maddux?

[GiambiJuice]

...And 1930's HR has got to be Jimmie Foxx.

[Brooklyn]

I'm pretty sure these are correct for the '0 - '9 decade, no idea about the '1-'0 decade

Hits

1880's Anson
1890's Delahanty
1900's Wagner
1910's Cobb
1920's Hornsby
1960's Clemente
1970's Rose
1980's Yount
2000's Ichiro

For the 90's, I know Grace is 1990-1999, interesting that he is not 1991-2000

Homeruns.

1920's Ruth
1930's Foxx
1940's Williams
1950's Snider
1960's Killebrew
1970's Stargell
1980's Schmidt
1990's McGwire
2000's ARod

Since the 70s are ending in 1980 here, I will take Reggie Jackson for home runs in the 70s. I am almost positive that he and Stargell tied for the actual 70s with 296 and Reggie hit 41 in 1980.
91-2000 hits I will take Palmiero. I think he was virtually tied with grace from 90-99.
1981-1990 wins I will go with Jack Morris

My other picks have already been guessed for now so I'll wait.

[GiambiJuice]

If 1970's strikeout's isn't Nolan Ryan I would be shocked. Same goes for 1990's strikeouts with Randy Johnson.

Are those guesses?

[AstrosFan]

1950's HR - Duke Snider
1910's hits - Ty Cobb
2000's hits - Ichiro Suzuki
2000's HR - A-Rod?
1990's HR - Griffey Jr.?
1990's Wins - Greg Maddux?

All are correct except Snider.

...And 1930's HR has got to be Jimmie Foxx.

Yup.

1941-1950
Hits: Stan Musial
HR: Ted Williams
W: Hal Newhouser
K: Bob Feller

All correct except Feller.

Since the 70s are ending in 1980 here, I will take Reggie Jackson for home runs in the 70s. I am almost positive that he and Stargell tied for the actual 70s with 296 and Reggie hit 41 in 1980.

Three for three.

If 1970's strikeout's isn't Nolan Ryan I would be shocked. Same goes for 1990's strikeouts with Randy Johnson.

Agreed. And you're right.

Everyone should know that while credit goes to the first correct guesser, the same is true for strikes. I won't be able to instantly answer every question. If user A guesses wrong, and user B comes along and posts the same wrong answer without realizing someone else has already guessed it, the strike will go to user A, and user B will remain safe.

[EdTarbusz]

All correct except Feller.


.

I was skeptical about Feller because of his war service but I thought 1946 might have pushed him to the top.

[BigRon]

Is there some reason you chose to use the unconventional convention for decades?

Isn't 1871 the first year of "professional" baseball? Anyway it is kind of interesting because people may have seen traditional decade leaderboards before.
