Answer: Warren Spahn

Spahn pitched for the Braves 20 seasons of his 21, and had exactly 363 wins and 363 hits, 35 of which were homeruns, almost 1 HR per 10 hits. Pretty good ratio for a pitcher.
3. What Hall of Famer had exactly 3000 career hits?

No doubt he would have had many many more if not for his tragic untimely death after the 1972 season. Roberto was a Pittsburgh Pirate, and died in a plane during a humanitarian mission to the Carribean.
4. Who retired in 1917 as baseball's career leader in triples?

Answer: Sam Crawford

Crawford had 309 triples. Having spent most of his career in Detroit, a mark that should definitely be included in all "records that won't ever be broken" discussions.

Speaker had 792 doubles during his career. He played for the Red Sox and Indians during his 22 seasons, and retired in 1928.
