Records, perhaps, that are not known to the generation of today have been given the greatest consideration, and this little volume, the reader must admit, holds every con- ceivable record one would care to know in the well- known sports. It has eliminated the con- sultation of dozens of books, some rather incomplete inso- far as fulfilling the purposes for which they are meant. Every record herein con- tained is authentic and accu- rate, having been obtained from sources which are affiU- ated very closely with that very sport. If the reader obtains as much enjoyment and pleasure from the perusal of Sport-Cyc as the author had in compil- ing same, the purpose of this little volume will not have gone amiss. The Author — ——. 7 INDEX BASEBALL Page World's Pitching Records Most games pitched during a season 17 Most games won during a season , . 17 Most games lost during a season 17 Highest percentage of games won 17 Most times at bat by opponents 17 Most innings pitched 17 Most hits by opponents 17 Hit most batsmen , 1 Most bases on balls in one season 18 Most bases on balls in one game 18 Strike-out records—game 18 Strike-out records—season 18 Most consecutive shut-out innings 19 Most consecutive games won season....

    HISTORY & RECORDS BISONS HISTORY & RECORDS BUFFALO BISONS RETIRED NUMBERS OLLIE CARNEGIE #6 Carnegie was the most popular player and greatest off ensive performer in the history of professional baseball in Buff alo. He played 12 years with the Bisons (1931-1941, 1945) and is Buff alo’s all-time leader with 258 home runs (2nd in International League behind only Mike Hessman) and 1,044 RBI. Carnegie led the Bisons in home runs and RBI seven times (1932-1935, 1937-1939) and the IL twice (1938, 1939). His 45 home runs in 1938 remain a club record. A lifetime .308 hitter, Carnegie also owns the Bisons records for games (1,273), hits (1,362) and doubles (249) even though he didn’t join the team until he was 32 years old. Carnegie was in the inaugural class for both the International League (1947) and Buff alo Baseball Hall of Fame. LUKE EASTER #25 Luscious Easter was a slugging fi rst baseman whose long home runs and colorful style of play captured the hearts of Bisons fans from 1956 through 1959. Easter, who was the fi rst black player to play for Buff alo since 1888, hit over 35 homers and drove more than 100 runs for three consecutive seasons in Buff alo. He led the International League in home runs at RBI in both 1956 (35 homers, 106 RBI) and 1957 (40 home runs, 128 RBI). All told, Easter hit 114 home runs and drove in 353 runs with the Bisons. Of his many memorable games, Easter will always be remembered as the fi rst player ever to hit a home run over the scoreboard at Off ermann Stadium.
