Ty Cobb

[bigken117]

Time: 50.89 seconds

both cobb and honus wagner have done it 4 times

[utterchaos]

Time: 1 minutes, 8.36 seconds

Ty Cobb and Honus Wagner with 4 each

[thedude]

Ty Cobb owns this record having accomplished this feat 4 times in his career.

Ty Cobb didn't like his teammates very much, and he was going to be damned if he need their help to score.

stupid taking too long, i was going to google it, then i thought "it has to be Ty Cobb"

[bigken117]

so the fact Wagner also did it 4 times doesn't matter?

I think it should. Wagner actually did it 15 years before Cobb did.

Meh... My source only listed Cobb, so i said "what player" not player "players". Since i asked for a singular answer, I credited the first singular answer. Someone had said Wagner earlier, i would have credited him with the correct answer. But since Cobb was the first correct answer, that is the one i marked right.
