MLB Trivia: No Easy Out Feat

Pete Rose is the MLB's all-time hit king with 4,256 hits. But he's also the MLB's all-time out king, ranking #1 with 10,328 outs. Can you name the player who has made the second most outs in MLB history? (Hint: Like Rose, this player is known for all-time greatness and longevity. And no, the answer is not Ty Cobb.)

My Baseball History

The first year that I really started paying attention to Major League Baseball was 1990. I was 10 living in Ohio and my favorite team was the Cincinnati Reds. As it turned out, the Reds started that season 9-0 and the excitement pulled this 10-year-old boy along for the ride. I remember quite a bit from that season, including the Reds' eventual sweep of the Oakland A's in the World Series.

The lesson I took from that season was that dreams can come true. Of course, given what's happened to the Reds in the many years that followed, I've learned that nightmares can come true too. ;-)

I've since moved to Chicagoland and now follow the White Sox, Cubs, and Reds. In general, I'm just a baseball fan who enjoys the beauty of the game no matter which teams are playing.
