Biographical Information

Oscar Jones holds the record for most hits and most at-bats in a season without driving in a single run. In 1904, he had 137 at-bats and 24 hits, but he had exactly zero RBI. He managed the 1911 Lemoore Cubs. Jones was referenced in a now-deleted short by a popular YouTube channel called AnimationEpic, called "The Taco Show," in which Taco Thought O.J. was O.J. Simpson and when he said he wasn't, Taco went on to think he was Oscar Jones.
