Q: This Hall of Fame first baseman played 16 years in the big leagues and won a NL MVP Award and two World Series rings. In 1924, he set the all-time record for RBI in a single game with 12 (later tied by Mark Whiten in 1993). He was involved in the closest batting race in MLB history when he came in third with an average of .3482 behind Chick Hafey's .3489 and Bill Terry's .3486. He also owns the single season record for the most unassisted double plays by a first baseman with eight. And he was also sued for hitting a home run when a fan was hit by the ball when he was not looking.
Who was he?
A: Jim Bottomley
