Actually it was Mickey Mantel. And Mantel broke alot of those records.. mantel had a total of 373 homerun hits left handed and 163 right handed homers. He still owns records for most homers, RBI, runs, walks, and strikeouts in World Series.

Present:Albert Pujols\nPast: Hank Aaron\n\ni would of said barry bonds, but am not going to because if he did take steriods then he is a dirty ho bag, but if he didnt then i will say him because look at all the records he broke in 2001\n\nBarry Bonds: Broke Mark McGwire's record for most home runs in one season\n\nBroke Babe Ruth's record for highest slugging percentage in a season\n\nBroke Roger Maris' record for most home runs in one season by a left-handed hitter\n\nOldest player to lead the major leagues in home runs\n\nOldest player to hit 50, 60, 70 home runs\n\nBroke the major-league record for walks in one season\n\nThirty-nine home runs before All-Star break\n\nOnly player to have two six-game home run streaks in career (both came this season)\n\nFastest player to 30 HR, 40 HR, 50 HR, 60 HR, 70 HR\n\nbut who knows maybe albert pujols will break all those records. I think he already broke the fastest player to get to 20 homeruns record, so he is doing  pretty amazing this year so far.plus pujols already have some records for himself already in these were set during his rookie year! \n\nWally Berger's NL rookie record for most RBI\n\nJohnny Frederick's NL rookie record for most extra-base hits\n\nRichie Allen's NL rookie record for most total bases

That would be Frank "Homerun" Baker who led the American League four seasons for most homeruns none more than 12 homeruns a season until in 1919 a player by the name of George Herman "Babe" Ruth hit 29 homerums and the rest as they say is history :>) Babe Ruth was a lefthanded pitcher at that time for the Boston Red Sox. What makes people say Babe Ruth the greatest player to ever play the game regardless of era is that he hit 29 homeruns at a time when 8 ,9 or 10 homeruns was considered great the Babe hit 29. That would be the equivalent for some hitter today to hit around 100 homers !!! And Babe was also a great left handed pitcher !! So yes I consider Babe Ruth the greatest player ever .

It was Tanyon Sturtze, who lost 18 games and walked 89 while pitching for Tampa Bay.  He also allowed 271 hits, 33 more than anyone else in the AL:\n\nhttp://www.baseball-reference.com/s/sturtta01.shtml

Most consecutive would be held by a man named Luke Appling who once fouled off 17 straight pitches before hitting a triple. The most foul balls in one at bat is held by Roy Thomas who once fouled off 22 pitches. Recently, Alex Cora fouled off 14 straight and then hit a homerun on the 18th pitch of the at bat.

15 people have hit 4 home runs in one game\n\nThe most recent being Carlos Delgado in 2003\n\nHere's a website to check out, it lists everyone.\nhttp://www.baseball-almanac.com/feats/feats4.shtml

Not counting rooks, the active players with the most at bats and no HR are Curt Schilling, Jon Lieber, Luis Ordaz, Brett Tomko, Pedro Martinez, and Matt Clement.\n\nThere are a ton of rookies and callups who are active with no HR - a little too many to name. \n\nOdd that this was just in a Jayson Stark column....

Baseball Reference says Walt Dropo of the '52 Tigers, with 12.\n\nTed Williams has the record for most consecutive times on base, with 16 in '57.

I would think this "accomplishment" has been achieved many, many times. I suspect most pitchers have struck out in both their first and final at-bats, and I'd have to believe that many other players have flailed in both at-bats as well.\n\nIn fact, given a few minutes, I suspect I could find several players whose only major league at-bats were all strikeouts.

According to baseball-reference.com (http://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/AL_2005.shtml) , there were three AL pitchers who hit homeruns in interleague play last year...\nC.C. Sabathia(CLE), Jason Johnson(DET), & Zack Greinke(KC)...i dont know who the last one to do it was though...\n\nAnd Bronson Arroyo plays for the Cincinnati Reds this year, NL team...Boston last year, but didnt hit any then

I'm sure somebody in the history of the game has grounded into a double play in their only Major League at-bat, so whoever that is would be your answer.

You mean which steriods-fueled slugger, or real baseball player?\nBecause Barry Bonds hit the first 9, from 5/1/00 to 5/24/01.\nIn fact, Barry hit 23 of the first 25 Giants splashes, with two from Felipe Crespo (5/28/01 and 7/8/01).\nAlso in 2000, Todd Hundley (LA) and Luis Gonzalez (AZ) hit homers into the bay, but the Giants don't count them as Spash Hits.

A "walk-off" home run is a home run hit by the home team in the bottom of the ninth inning or later to seal the win when before the score was a tie or the home team was trailing. Two World Series, out of 102, have ended in a walk-off home run. They are the 1960 Pirates vs. Yankees matchup, which the Pirates won in Game 7 on slick-fielding Hall of Fame second baseman Bill Mazeroski's walk-off solo home run on a pitch by Ralph Terry, and the 1993 Blue Jays vs. Phillies classic, with Joe Carter of the Blue Jays crushing a dramatic home run off closer Mitch 'Wild Thing' Williams. The term was coined by Hall of Fame reliever Dennis Eckersley. The term has come to mean the batter walks off the field after hitting the home run, or the long walk to the dugout by the losing pitcher. There are "walk-off" base hits, but as they are not home runs, they are not spoken as "walk-off" hits that often. More often, they are game-winning hits.
