    Obviously not RJ material, the two of them.

              Phillies have a catching prospect named O'Hoppe that should probably be up. Could use a new Over Catcher. Maybe if we are doing this in 10 years or so.

              • there's a thread on Reddit right now about What is a record, sports or otherwise, that is likely never to be broken?

                second top comment is about Cy Young's 749 complete games

                part of the comment states: "to put Young's record in further perspective relative to modern-day pitchers, I looked up the career complete game stats for all current MLB pitchers, and there are 124 pitchers total who have 1 complete game in their career, for a total of 505 collectively. 244 less than Cy Young alone pitched in his career."

                  2 grand slams in an inning will also be tough to beat

                    I agree. 1 out of every ~45 HR is a grand slam currently. So picking 2 random HR, 1 out of every 2025 times you'd expect both of them to be grand slam.

                    So for every 2025 times that a player hits 2 HR in the same inning, you'd expect to have 1 instance of the double grand slam.

                    There have only been 60 instances of a player hitting 2 HR in the same inning. We have a long way to go to get to another double grand slam.

                      Not many pitchers will even get to 749 games.

                          Since 1900 only two or three players have 3 hits in an inning. Johnny Damon is one of them

                            Another record that might never be broken...hard to imagine getting 4 hits in an inning.

                              • I've been bringing my long-won experience here at RJ into my work life. Our team has commented a bit of feeling detached from one and other due to work from home, so I've started using our General and Fun Teams channels to post random shit. I'm just generating content for people to comment on. One of these weeks I'll do a Friday Fun Poll on what brand of Toothpaste everyone uses and then things will have come full-circle.
