    Your assumption is incorrect.

    And he also spent a couple of years as President of the Yankees because he was friends with Steinbrenner and actually hired George to be an assistant when he coached at Northwestern.

    I am the active leader in sacrifice bunts. Who in the hell am I?

    Money. Good job.

    108 career, and 18 in one season (2010).

    I figured since he has pitched a long time and has often gone deep into games he's probably sacrificed a bunch.

    A follow can be: I am the active leader in sacrifice bunts among position players. Who in the hell am I?

    Since no one guessed. It's Elvis Andrus with 100. The list I found is sacrifice hits, so I don't know that all are bunts, but the next closet is Brett Gardner with 64 so I'm comfortable with that answer.

    Who is credited as being the first professional basketball player to shatter a backboard?

    I’m pretty sure sacrifice hits are exclusive of sacrifice flies so I’m guessing those 100 are all bunts.

    Baseball Reference has SH and SF as separate categories.

    What about a groundout to first?
