– only player to wear number 69 for 2 different teams
– hit a home run on his first career at bat, as a pitcher
– was the opening day starter for the 2020 orioles
this is the thad young stat post of mlb lmao
This was a fun one that made the rounds last year:
Only two players in MLB history have a multi-HR game on the road that included a game-winning grand slam with his team trailing and down to its final out.
Boston’s Babe Ruth, July 18th 1919
Cleveland’s Daniel Schneemann, May 3rd 2025
“Last season I led this team in ninth-inning doubles in the month of August!”
I kinda wanna create my own. My idea is most triples in the 3rd inning of players born between the 25th and 30th parallel
I think cherry picked stats are hilarious, don’t understand why people can’t enjoy them
Most strikeouts in a third inning, on the road, by a left handed rookie, during a day game, not on a Sunday, since 1981, on real grass, in the National league Central.
They should add most bat flips by a left-handed player named Brandon in odd-numbered months.
Fastest pitch thrown while hitting a bird
This one is a classic:
Most career HRs by a player who’s last name begins with “Rut”….
*1. Babe Ruth — 714
2. Josh Rutledge — 20
*3. Adley Rutschman — 8
*Both share a February 6th birthday
⚾ **EDIT** – So I wanted to update the HR total for Adley, because this was from a while ago. He’s leaped into second place with guess how many career HRs…. *61*.🤔
The seven times the World Series was a rematch of the regular season before the 2023 schedule change:
1. Braves/Yankees 1999*
2. Subway Series 2000
3. Tigers/Cardinals 2006*
4. Rockies/Red Sox 2007
5. Phillies/Yankees 2009*
6. Royals/Giants 2014*
7. Phillies/Astros 2022
*Times the loser beat the eventual winner
Google “Thaddeus Young statline” and look at the images
When someone posts that X player and 2 HOFers are the only players with a certain number of HRs, RBIs, SBs, 3Bs before the age of 21 or whatever.
In an odd numbered month as well.
Cody Bellinger homering on 4/20 every year since 2023.
162 games a year, you gotta talk about somethin’.
Nolan Ryan has a career 112 ERA+. Kyle Freeland had a 114 ERA+ from 2017 through 2022.
Everyone hates on cherry picked stats but I think their fun provided they’re not taken too seriously
Ofc there will always be someone who argues that the manager was dumb for removing a RP because the next batter was 0-4 on Tuesdays against them
Cliff Lee is clearly superior to Zack Grienke with the exception of before the fourth inning, after a road loss, in a dome stadium.

You give my boy Brandon credit where credit is due
Other than the 33yo+ part that’s not that cherry picked. Right?

“That’s already the Tigers 14th one-run game of the season, the most for any team north of the Mason-Dixon Line who does *not* play in a dome!”
EDIT: Corrected quote
If you want cherry-picked stats, just watch the broadcast of any team having a bad season. They’ll look for anything to make their team look positive.
The JP Crawford vs Orioles one is better

The GOAT, [Thaddeus Young](https://cdn1.thecomeback.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/94/2018/02/Fox-Sports-Indiana-Graphic.jpg)
No one with the name Cherry (first or last) has ever recorded a pick off
This stat was fun and then I got to “age 33 or older” and I rolled my eyes.
Cy Williams. Babe Ruth. Willie Mays. Brandon Belt. Wow
Hang around the sub for the first couple weeks of the season and you’ll come across some of the most preposterous cherry picked stats
It’s my time to shine got these ready to go baby

[Football](https://i.imgur.com/BG8ztyS.jpeg)
[Hockey](https://i.imgur.com/WopTDqD.jpeg) this one is probably my favorite

As a diehard Robins fan, I’ve hated Cy Williams ever since that fateful July afternoon
Most career home runs, last name beginning with “Rut”, birthday on February 6th
Babe Ruth 714
Adley Rutschman 61

ESPN’s ticker once displayed Tim Lincecum’s record going up against pitchers named Clayton.
Chipper Jones is the only switch-hitter with multiple extra-inning home runs in his 40s.
The Mets broadcasts have some doozies sometimes, but I can’t remember any of them because they’re so ridiculously specific.
I enjoy them because they’re fun, but sometimes I just have to laugh at some of the shit they come up with
