Not that it's Labor Day related, but I labored over making it and now you folks can labor over answering it.

It's inspired by the Jeter/Gehrig discussion in another thread, my point being that the club record for most hits (like the most HRs by a catcher record from a few years back) is semi-obscure and not really relevant on a league-wide basis ... unless it involves Jeter of course.
The other thing I discovered (and what I suspected and therefore what got me started with the research) is that the most hits mark is higher in 13 of the other 15 non-expansion clubs, further evidence of the non-importance of this "event".

Anyway, can you name the career hits leader for each of the 30 franchises? ... and for good measure throw in each club's HR leader too.

Rules/hints:
- these are franchise questions. So it counts the Braves in all 3 cities as one club, not just Atlanta numbers count. Not separate Brooklyn/LA records for the Dodgers. Ditto with their being only one answer for old Senators/Twins, one more for newer Senators/Rangers, and one for Expos/Nationals, etc.
- in 9 of the 30 cases the same guy holds both the team hit & HR marks, so 51 different guys hold these 60 marks
- only 3 franchises have lower hit marks than the Mets; only 5 have lower HR marks
- of the 60 possible answers two are current Mets, and four are one-time Mets (six really but only if you include the two NYM answers ... duh!)
- obviously the numbers are not necessary, I'll just include them for the correct answers
- the obvious answers are given, leaving 57 more to be filled in
- let's keep guesses down to about 5 at a time or less

Whoops. This is what I get from typing too quickly. That Ruth guy has the MFY record.

The expansion team records are fun to try to guess. Let's say:
Marlins: Conine (hits) and Sheffield (HRs).
Rockies: Walker (hits) and Bichette (HRs).

Ruth obviously. The four expansion guesses are all INcorrect.

Todd Helton probably holds both Rockies records.


Yes he does

Pirates hits: Honus Wager by a nose over Roberto Clemente
Red Sox HR & Hits: Ted Williams.
Tigers hits: Ty Cobb


Wagner - no
Williams - HRs only
Cobb - of course, correct.

Two guesses for Dawson on both Expos/Nats records and all four answers are wrong.
Biggio for Astros hits is correct, as are both Dodger "guesses".
And, yes, Sosa = Cubbie HRs

I'm ignoring that mass answer sheet. Boil it down to a few at a time.
