Primer Dugout (and link of the day) 5-17-2021
Rock Island Argus, May 17, 1921:
When Everett Scott, captain of the Red Sox, takes the field against the Browns at St. Louis today, he will have participated in 700 consecutive American league games…Scott started his record June 20, 1916, and has not been out of the Red Sox lineup at shortstop since.
...
Fred Luderus of the Philadelphia Nationals, who in 1919 completed 533 consecutive games, held the previous modern record for continuous play…
Meanwhile, Henry Louis Gehrig was on the verge of graduating from Commerce High School and heading off to Columbia University.

All 30 current franchises have a career leader for most batter ks with the franchise. Can you name any of the hitters who lead each franchise in Ks? (looking for overall numbers, not single season record holders).
Miggy DET?
Votto CIN?
Konerko? DING! 1,349 with the CWS. Ranks #18 among franchise leaders.
Cabrera? DING! 1,246 with Detroit (as of a few days ago anyway). Ranks #21 among franchise leaders.
Votto? DING! 1,379 with Cincy (again, as of a few days ago - too lazy to look up today's stats). Ranks 14th among franchise leaders.
Sandberg CHC
Goldschmidt ARI
Strawberry NYM
Helton COL
Bagwell HOU
Rice? Nope. He's #2 with them.
Reggie? DING! He had 1,226 Ks with Oakland. That's the 23rd most for a franchise leader. (15th most among the 16 pre-expanion franchises)>
#10 - Aaron? Nope. He's #5 with the Braves.
#11 - Sandberg? Nope. #3 in franchise history
Goldschmidt? DING! He fanned 1,059 times in Arizona. That ranks 29th among franchises leaders. (One club has never had a guy get under 1,000 Ks. Care to guess what franchise?)
Strwaberry? Nope. He's #2 with the Mets.
#12:
Schmidt? DINGG! 1,881 Ks w/ PHI. 2nd most for any franchise leader.
Stargell? DING! 1,936 w/ PIT. The most any player ever had with one franchise.
Killebrew? DING! 1,629 w/ WAS/MIN. 7th most for any franchise leader.
Banks? Nope. #4 with the Cubs
8 named. 22 to name. Among those left to name are four Hall of Famers. And a helluva lotta players from the 21st century.
Longoria? DING! 1,220 with Tampa. 24th most of any franchise leader.
Helton? DING! 1,175 with Colorado. 26th most of any franchise leader.
Bagwell? Nope. Really close, but not Bagwell.
You mean over. I'm guessing it's either the Padres or Marlins. I'll say Klesko for the Padres, Conine for the Marlins.
Tony Fernandez? Nope . He's not even in the top ten. #1 for Toronto is a much-more conventional #1. He's a big slugger.
#17
Yaz? Nope Youz have named #2, #3, and #4 with Boston, but not #1. #1, as it happens, never received much support from the BBWAA for The Hall of Famers, though he sure has his backes areound here.
Yeah - sorry about the miswording.
You're right - it's one of the those two franchises. But Klesko isn't SDP's leader and Conine isn't MIA's leader.
Ah, Dewey.
Jim Thome for Indians
Rob Deer for Brewers
Barry Bonds for the Giants
Ryan Braun for MIL?
Ripken for BAL?
ALex Gordon? DING! 1,535 with KC. #10 among franchise leaders.
Dwight Evans? DING! 1,643 w/ BOX. 6th most among franchise leaders.
#22
Gwynn? Nope. Not even in the top 10. The man didn't strike out.
#23
THome? DING! 1,400 with CLE. 13th most for a franchise leader.
Deer? Nope. #7 with the franchise. Didn't last long enough.
13 down. 17 to go.
Teams I haven't seen guessed yet: BAL, STL, SFG, ANA, WSN, LAD, TEX. Maybe one or two were guessed - not gonna go back and check right now. Others not named yet: NYY, CHC, HOU, ATL, SEA, MIL, NYM, TOR, MIA, SDP.
Yadi with the Cards?
Salmon with the Angels
Zimmerman with the Nats
Braun? DING! 1,363 with MIL. #16 among franchise leaders.
#25 -
Sosa for Cubs? DING! 1,815. #4 among franchise leaders.
Bonds wtih Giants? Nope. He's #7
#26
JOnes? NOpe
Ripken? Nope.

HINTS
Braves: Not as far back as Hank Aaron, but further back than all other guesses for this club so far.
Orioles: Just think of Ks per PA. Not the most PA, but wow did he ever K a in a lot of them.
Cardinals: One of the longest held team-K records/ Not a slugger, but he K'd a lot anyway.
Giants: The single longest-lasted held team record of all 30 franchises. Wow, don't overthink this one.
Mariners: Not Edgar, but from that period.
Dodgers: Wait -what? Really? This guy? This guy is their franchise leader in Ks? Really? (Eh - a 21st century player who had a nice peak)
Rangers: Name some long-lasting Rangers
Marlins: No one lasts long with this franchise, but who took the most big swings there?
Padres: Well, an appropraite first name for a guy who K'd the most.
Nope. The answer for the Dodgers is the weirdest of any team. But take that approach and apply it to the Giants and Cards and see what you get.
#42 -
Stanton? DING!
Chris Davis for the O's
Lou Brock for the Cards
Whiff Roberts?
Mays? DING! Still #1 in Ks all-time for the Giants.
edit: Ignore that. It's embarrassing guess.
Murphy? DING!
Chris Davis? DING!
Lou Brock? DING!
That leaves .. Mariners, Dodgers, Rangers, Paders.
Has there even been a Rangers guess yet? I don't recall one.
Green? Nope. Not a bad guess, but this guy debuted with the Dodgers in 2006. Green left the team after 2004.
Jay Buhner? DING!
Juan Gone? Nope. This guy lasted a lot logner on the team than Gonzalez did. In fact, he's #1 in A LOT of career stats with the Rangers. Like I said at some point, name guys with long tenures with the Rangers.
Young? DING!
Just leaves a Dodger batter from 2006-14 (who flirted with the triple crown one year), and a third baseman so non-descript that he could only be a franchise leader wtih the Padres.
#60? - Chase Headley? DING!

7. Harmon Killebrew, MIN, 1629, Snapper
8. Dale Murphy, ATL, 1581. SoSH
9. Chris Davis (who is #22 in franchise PA), BAL, 1550. SoSH
10. Alex Gordon, KCR, 1535, SoSH
11. Lou Brock, STL, 1469. SoSH
12. Willie Mays, SFG, 1436. Mefsto

29. Paul Goldschmit, AZ, 1059. Ziggy
30. Chase Headley SDP, 864, SoSH
And today's left fielder wore his birthday on the back of his White Sox jersey.
I thought you said career not season. :-)
And Eddie needed 18 seasons to play nine full ones.
Nine expansion teams are higher up on that list than the Dodgers, a franchise almost 140 years old.
That would be more noteworthy if a single player on this list played the majority of his career before expansion.
Yep. It's also surprising how few "franchise" (EDIT: POSITION) players the Dodgers have really had, especially recently. Among players whose careers started in the last 50 years or so, Eric Karros leads the way with 6600 PA. Obviously FA has some effect on every team but the Dodgers are wealthy. Unless I missed somebody, Beltre (just 3800 PA) was the first HoF position player to spend significant time with the Dodgers since Duke Snider whose last season in LA was 1962. (The Dodgers top 50 PA list goes down to Justin Turner at 3240 so I would have missed anybody below that but anybody below that barely scraped 5 years at most.)
Not that HoF position players grow on trees of course though I mean not just ones they might have developed, but FAs and traded players as well. Eddie Murray was there for a while but it's less than 2000 PA. F Robinson grabbed 400 PA.
