The Diamondbacks had just 1 baserunner tonight, a Nick Ahmed 3B, but won 1-0 vs the Reds.They're the 1st team in the Modern Era (since 1900) to win a game with just 1 baserunner, in a 9+ inning game.(Which means the Reds are the 1st team to lose such a game)h/t @EliasSports— Sarah Langs (@SlangsOnSports) September 15, 2019

At 24 years, 287 days, Pete Alonso is the third-youngest player to hit 50 in a season. Only Prince Fielder (23 years, 139 days) and Willie Mays (24, 137) were younger.

Alonso 52 ties Judge
"When I think of baseball history, I think old-timey guys like Lou Gehrig, Babe Ruth, Barry Bonds,'' Alonso said. "Geez, I mean, to think that as a rookie I hit more homers than everyone except for one guy, it's nuts. It's crazy. I'm not trying to sound any other way. It's just, wow.''

Roberto Pérez just became one of only 9 catchers to play 100 games with 0 passed balls.I told him that last week and I don't think he knew, and thank god he made it through the last week without my jinx taking him out.— Mike Petriello (@mike_petriello) September 30, 2019

from the Effectively Wild FB group:
If the Rays beat the Astros (107), Yankees (103) & Dodgers (106) that would have to be the most opposing team wins beaten, right? If so, was there even another year with a possible higher total when the playoffs started (WC game not counting)?
Red Sox have the top 2, 2004 with 298 and 2018 with 295.
Any AL team would take the record if they beat the Dodgers in the WS. If the AL WS team beats the Astros at some point, they’re guaranteed to take the record regardless of NL team.

Assuming he plays on Wednesday, Molina will pass Chipper Jones for the National League record for most postseason games with 94.They're currently tied for 9th most all-time, with all eight players ahead of them being primarily AL players https://t.co/F4M8gP1s10 pic.twitter.com/IZZRFhJv9f— Baseball Reference (@baseball_ref) October 8, 2019

Every single division has won a World Series in the last 6 years. No repeats. Also happened 2001-06.

ok, if the 6 divisions can agree to keep taking turns, and in the same order, we won't have to watch the playoffs any more. and if the teams in each division can agree on taking turns of who wins every year, we don't have to watch baseball at all!

rando trivia:
during the 1980s and 90s, there were only two players (in two different seasons) who won the "slash-stat triple crown" (leading the league in BA, OBP, and SLG). who were they, and which years?
