[edit] Size
I'm thinking maybe this is getting a little big for its own good, and should be broken up into more than one table, say, one for hitting, one for pitching, one for baserunning/fielding, etc.?? That way, the notes are more manageable, too. Revolver 17:23, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Footnotes/one-off events
It's a bit confusing that both the footnotes and one-off events use numbers, if one reads the footnotes and tries to work back to the thing it refers to; one doesn't know which is which (although eventually I worked it out; those on 1-counts in the column were to one-offs). How about using, say, letters for one, and numbers for the other? Noel (talk) 15:41, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
- Good idea. I found the footnoting extremely confusing. --Russ Blau (talk) 21:07, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
- It took me several minutes to figure it out. Changing one set to letters would mess up the numbered lists, so it non-trivial to implement. I've added a couple of brief explanatory notes that will hopefully make things clearer. -dmmaus 22:33, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
Surely it's not true that 9 hits in a single game only occurred once???
It seems that the Fielding section is really slim compared to the others, and I know that there has to be more crazy fielding things that have happened. Such as the unassisted putout by a catcher on a stolen base attempt (catcher runs and applies the tag himself). DeltaTango 04:34, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] confusing
This article is beyond confusing... it would be improved by putting the footnotes in with the article, no?
One more record that should be added to this page is:
Only time ever that a pitcher's first ML at-bat was a pinch-hit HR: Gene Stechschulte, April 17, 2001. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.168.80.95 (talk • contribs) . 01:17, 13 July 2006
- I just dropped by this article today and found it confusing that the numbered footnote do not appear 1,2,3 but in some other order. Conversion to cite.php would help that. For the lettered footnotes, it might be clearer if the event details could be incorporated into the table, perhaps in the references column. (The entry for "most hits in an inning" put a 3 in the column otherwise devoted to "# of occurrances" - fixed that.) Also, the criteria refer to single game events, but then under fielding is a double-header event; not sure how to fix that. Gimmetrow 02:17, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 8 runs batted in in one inning
If Fernando Tatis hit two grand slams in one inning, then he must have accomplished the eight rbis in an inning as well. I'm not familiar with the "table" format here, so someone else needs to correct it. piper108 04:35, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
