What are your favorite stats in baseball? There are plenty of people who can name the all-time record for home runs, RBI, hits, etc., but what about those funky stats that everyone loves to forget, those ones that happened so long ago, no one will touch them. For me, it’s anything from the Deadball Era where pitchers were superhuman, able to throw near 400 innings per season, completed every single game they started and took every decision they were in.
That means, for me, my favorite is Cy Young’s 511 career wins. No one is ever going to get near that record.
