At bats, or plate appearances? A walk with the bases loaded counts as an RBI, but not an AB, correct?

When cheating, I mean researching, I found a guy with a career RBI per PA average of .291. . . .

Free Phogge!!!! And no, crimson doesn't refer to the Tide.

Apparently, official baseball records have been expanded to include the stats from the Negro leagues, as well.

Indeed, though the caveat in that list is 1000 career games minimum. Many Negro League players never reached that milestone as their seasons had far fewer games. None of the three I mentioned had 1000 games, though one played 18 seasons, another 21. Gibson only 14.

Bumgarner

In the spirit of that question, who's the only pitcher to throw 14 consecutive scoreless innings in All Star games?

Excellent guess, and Rivera did have 9.0 All Star innings and gave up no runs.

Think earlier generation with an SFBA connection.

Turns out it was Mr. Juan Marichal, with a streak that began in 1964 and continued until 1971. He gave up an earned run in his first all star game in 1962.

I believe you were responding to my question. And you are correct. Who is second all-time?

Ok - the answer to who is second in consecutive post season scoreless appearances - Jeremy Affeldt. A incredible post season pitcher. Affeldt was crucial in the Giants post seasons. 2010, it was Affeldt that came out of the bullpen in Game 6 of the NLCS after Jonathan Sanchez hit Utley and the benches (and bullpens) cleared. Mark Gardner held Affeldt back to start warming up. And of course, it was Affeldt that got the Giants to Bumgarner in Game 7 of the ‘14 WS.
