There is only one MLB team in history with a bullpen that recorded a sub-3.00 ERA (2.99) with over 600 innings pitched (632 2/3).
Name the team and year.

1990 A's (Dennis Eckersley and his 0.61 ERA leading the way) would be my top candidate

Davis right also
Are you referring to Leo Nomellini (sp?)?
If so, I'm pretty sure he had a son or maybe nephew (doubt it would be grandson) - Drew - who attended the same HS I did and was a classmate of one of my siblings.

Son was Drew. I believe an athlete in HS.

You are correct, Sir! The 2021 San Francisco Giants.

I think Leo the Lion has some pro wrestling matches with former Stanford guard Don Manoukian. Of course none were ever fixed.

Two current Managers with their teams still playing played on the same team. Who and what team 50 years ago?

LaRussa and Baker. Had to be Atlanta. I know Dusty played for the Braves at that time. I didn’t know that LaRussa played for them.

Who owns the single-season record for most at bats?
Who owns the career record? (this one is pretty easy)

Don’t know single season record holder.
Pete Rose is the career record holder.
A couple records will be established tomorrow.
A game featuring two teams with 105+ regular season wins.
A game featuring the most combined regular season wins (213) posted by the competing teams (breaking the record of 212 - 1998 World Series: Yankees 114 v. Padres 98).
RE: Sports trivia thread -

Yes, Rose was the career leader (as I said, easy enough). Anyone know the single-season record? It happened this century.

Are you asking about formal at bats or plate appearances?

At bats, this way you have to think of someone who is towards the top of the order, who didn't miss many games, but who also didn't walk a lot.
