Here is the answer to our trivia question: Rick Rhoden, our last guest, and Gary Peters and Jerry Walker all had 11-game hitting streaks – the most for pitchers in MLB history.
Before we go:
Would you watch baseball if it looked like this? The team in the field would only have a pitcher and catcher. Add to that, each hitter would have five strikes before they’re out.
If it was that way, you might not get through a half inning. The team at bat would run rough-shot over the team in the field.
Thankfully, it’s not that way.
