I posted this question in the general trivia section, but I don't think anybody responded. So come on baseball fans, lets start a trivia section.
Looking up answers online is expressly frowned upon, but if you wanna be a little bitch, go ahead.
All questions assume "modern era," i.e. no 19th century bullshit.
So, who holds the record for batting average by a rookie?

wow....started off with a hard one..unless I'm just blanking on it or something. It wasn't Ichiro...was it? I don't think it was him..but he hit like .350 or something...so maybe it was??
I'll say Ichiro...but I'm pretty sure I'm wrong.

Pretty sure its George Watkins of STL fame.
Now I post a question, right?
Who holds the records for most games played, most at bats (lifetime), and most hits (lifetime)?
Not really a hard one, but good enough.

He was never as good as his rookie year, I don't think.
There's a thing in this coffee table book we have.

NONE OF YOU ARE CORRECT
It was Shoeless Joe, who posted a retarted .408 his rookie year.
Okay since the dude who got Pete Rose right didn't ask a question (and since nobody actually got mine right) I'll post another.
I think this is a bit easier. No cheating.
Who holds the record for career total bases? Hint: it's not Pete Rose

I think I wanna challenge the Shoeless Joe Jackson answer. Could you please give a link or tell where you got this from, because was he technically a rookie that year..because he was in the MLB for three previous seasons..with 5, 5, and 20 games played those three years. Now, I'm not exactly sure of how a player qualifies as a "rookie," but would he have really been a rookie?? Not saying I really know the answer, but it just seems a bit odd.
Here is where I got this info:

Alright, Adam Dunn is correct, so my turn:
Who has hit the most career Grand Slams?

I understand that. However, I was under the impression that if you played pieces of three seperate years..that you would no longer qualify. Doesn't really matter though, we'll just go with it.
