Paul Sorrento hit a career best 31 in 1997. A-Rod 'only' hit 23 that year.
Paul Sorrento, difficult to get.
Two more trivia questions: 1) Name the player to record the first-ever hit at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in 1992 and 2) Name the player to serve as the first designated hitter in Tampa Bay Devil Rays history.

Steve Carlton was traded for Rick Wise. Not 100% sure on that but I think so.
Rookie to strike out the most? Going to go with the aforementioned Bobby Bonds
First Met? Tom Seaver
Total guess on most no hitters broken up: I'll go with Wade Boggs

Kris Bryant for rookie with most strikeouts.

Casey Stengel the first Mets number to be retired.
Wow. I had the right idea with Hodges. Didn't the Mets lose an insane number of games under Stengel? He obviously won a lot managing across town, but really no reason for the Mets to retire his number.
I think you are correct on Bryant at 199. He has made some progress in that regard. Even Dave Kingman never struck out that much.

That includes the abysmal 40-120 record in '61. Yeah I too was surprised the Mets retired his jersey.
Good try, JIMMY.
Sorrento is the answer to both questions.
Glenn Davis recorded the first-ever Oriole hit at Camden Yards.
However, Sorrento singled off Rick Sutcliffe in the top of the second inning for the first-ever hit in Baltimore's new baseball stadium in 1992.
The pitching mound had a 15-inch elevation in 1968 and a 10-inch elevation in 1969.
Bob Gibson's astonshingly-low 1.12 ERA in 1968 was the main reason for the rule change.
Was it the Dodgers who were forced to lower their mound in the 1990's?
I faintly remember a controversy.

Most no-hitters broken up?
Sounds like a trick queston or a poorly-worded one.
I'll guess Pete Rose or Rickey Henderson.

Actually the year was 1965 when the Dodgers had to lower their mound....

Poorly worded....Pete Rose is right....
And Caesar Tovar and Eddie Milner broke up the most no hitters....
Viejo Dinosaur

I think it was Aaron Judge...have to recheck....

You're probably right although I tend to think of Bryant as a true rookie.
