Also 19 of those plays did not result in a run, and there's a little bitof everything mixed in: - a grand slam - a hit by pitch - lots of double plays, including a line-drive DP - 3 game-winning hits, and 1 game-ending (non-winning) out Amazingly, there has never been a walk! Great find, Steve. That totally amazes me….that 28 out of 29 guys could avoid striking out in that situation.
