Without looking it up...does anyone know what Red GDP the most?

[44Magnum]

Which Red grounded into the most double plays (career)?

[Unassisted]

Ray Knight?

[westofyou]

A guy who played a long time and batted at the bottom of the order, I can see.

[pedro]

I'd guess someone like Tony Perez.

[RedsManRick]

I'm guessing Petey. Lots of ABs, always put the ball in play.

[TOBTTReds]

I'd go with Rose

[LincolnparkRed]

4 & 5 are kinda of a suprise

#8 is not, even less when saying he didn't really play here that long.

[44Magnum]

I'll post the answer at 2 o'clock to give others a chance to guess. Remember, no cheating.

[Newman4]

I know what Red has grounded into the most triple plays this year.:D

[MaineRed]

Sean Casey

[bucksfan2]

Sean Casey?? He seemed like he hit into one every time someone was on base his last few years here.

[George Anderson]

Frank Robinson

[Redsland]

Dante Bichette hit into four in a row.

That's gotta be worth something.

[EddieMilner]

i would say Pete Rose because of his tenure with the reds. If you did per season I think that sean casey would be up there.

[Marge'sMullet]

I'll go with Tony Perez.

[44Magnum]

The answer is David Concepcion with 266.

[44Magnum]

Ernie Lombardi hit into a record 30 in 1938 for the single season record.

FWIW I was going to guess Bench.

[Unassisted]

Ray Knight led the majors in GIDP for one of his seasons with the Reds. That was the reason for my guess.

Now I guess my mental picture of the quintessential Concepcion AB will be of him crossing 1B just after the throw from 2B. :laugh:

I know what Red has grounded into the most triple plays this year.:D

Here's the list of all players who had hit into triple plays before this season. Brooks Robinson appears to have the all time record with 4.

[Razor Shines]

Wow Lombardi GIDP every 23 PAs. Casey 2nd at 34.1.

[pedro]

Wow Lombardi GIDP every 23 PAs. Casey 2nd at 34.1.


Apparently Ernie couldn't outrun a sack of rocks.

[Yachtzee]

The answer is David Concepcion with 266.

Good thing he turned a lot of them too to make up for it. :)

[Degenerate39]

Casey?
