Random unbelievable baseball facts, trivia, and/or oddities

[ScooterD]

The boards are full of knowledge of baseball’s history. Use this thread to share some of it with everyone. Just state a fact/oddity or treat it as a trivia thread to test and educate others.

I’ll start:

In a normal, contemporary 162-game season, winning or losing 100 games is fairly rare. Connie Mack’s managerial record equates to one manager coaching a team to:

37 100-win seasons
39 100-loss seasons
And Nearly half a season of just ties (75)

Numbers that will never be matched.
