Looks like Ryan howard is on his way for his 5th year in a row with 40 plus home runs and 130 plus rbi's, Im sure not to many players ahve done it 5 years in a row. How or where can i dig up who else has done this..
Thanks

I'm reaching here but I thought I heard he was tied right now for that type of season and if he did a 5th one he would be the first to do it.

If you find a site with lots of obscure stats please link it

I usually get stats from this site. Get old boxscores and other great stuff

www.retrosheet.org

I heard in MLB network he was the first to do it for 4 years in a row. So you know what that means for 5.

Here's a couple. Do a search for "weird baseball stats" or "strange baseball facts" or something similar and you'll come up with some good sites.

Who are the three pitchers to strike out four batters in one inning?
This one has me befuddled. How do you strike out 4 batters in one inning ?

Not exactly on topic but some good stuff about unusual contracts.

This one looked to be very promising but the site was down when I tried it.

Player reaches base on a wild pitch/passed ball on a third strike - results in a strikeout but not an out.

Under the Players tab there's "fabulous feats" and "famous firsts" plus at the bottom of most pages they have a box called "fast facts" which is usually pretty interesting.

Come on guys, among current guys Adam Dunn's streak of five staright seasons came up two HRs short last year. More recently McGwire had four straight over 52 HRs while Sammy Sosa had a streak of six 40+ HR seasons.

Sorry, missed the RBI part.
