Name the top 10 single season hits leader while batting in the DH spot.



*This is not a trick question*
In other words most hits is a season as a DH in the batting order.

[asiagambler]

Edgar Martinez

[Fidel_CashFlow]

Paul Molitor

[JMobile]

David Ortiz

[stevenash]

Edgar and Molitor are correct.
Those are the first two that came to my mind.

I got seven before giving up and cheated.

One name is really hard to get.

[stevenash]

David Ortiz

That's three fellas.

[pavyracer]

Edwin Encarnacion

[stevenash]

Edwin Encarnacion

He crossed my mind too but no.

OK.
Edgar is on the list three times as he was the DH hit leader in three separate seasons.
Molitor once, Papi Ortiz once.

Here's a hint.

We're missing four names.
Two of the four names led the league in DH hits twice.

[Chi_archie]

Manny Ramirez
Frank Thomas

[stevenash]

Manny Ramirez
Frank Thomas

No, Manny played in 2302 career games, he was a DH in just 332 of them.
You would think more but he was a career outfielder, Papi did all the DH'ing for the Sox.

This is one of my all time favorite trivia questions by the way.

Harold Baines?
Cecil Cooper?
Willie Horton?

[pavyracer]

Juan Gonzalez?

Willie Horton?

Good job there Horton did it once.

[stevenash]

Juan Gonzalez?

No.

[pavyracer]

No.

I actually wanted you to win the hand. I had to take the dogs out for a walk. It's easier to cash if you stack up chips early. Good luck!
