    To me that's a surprising number, who hold the all-time record? Could it be over 80 or so?

  2. DavidRF Says:

    Wikipedia lists Hoyt Wilhelm as having the record with 124.

    PlayIndex confirms that number, but I don't know how to tell if that's the record.

    So (at least right now, which is 4:45 am) the link to the answer doesn't work. What a cruel trick.... what's the answer!!!!?

    PI is entirely offline now.
    The answers were Mike Timlin and Mariao Rivera with 43 each. There were 2 pitchers who had 42, but I don't remember offhand who they were.
