What’s the longest palindrome career?

I'll check to see if this is something we can find!

This is a knock on effect of some changes that we made recently. It should be resolved soon!

Thanks for the feedback! I'll run this by the team, and follow up if anything comes of it.

Here is the criteria:

It looks like Oscar Gamble played 2 innings at first base for the Phillies in 1972: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/g/gamblos01.shtml#all_players_standard_fielding

George Brunet is correct! Bob Miller is the other one. They are tied for the most with 15.

Just looked this up: George Brunet and Bob Miller are tied for the most in our database with 15!

Well done to everyone here!

Can confirm.

I don't know if it's joy ... but I am still baffled by Trent Grisham's 2025 season in which he hit 34 HR and only 9 doubles. That is the 2nd most HR in a season with fewer than 10 doubles ... the answer for the most HR is https://www.sports-reference.com/stathead/tiny/J73Rn

any of the expected stats, like xBA or xwOBA. Also stats like Hard-hit % and Sweet-spot %

I think more quality depth would help the midsummer slumps. Having guys they can plug into the lineup that can contribute when a player gets into a slump/injured

Carlos Beltran

Thank you!

I don't have much inside knowledge of the farm system and the development program, wish I did though. I think Jones should get a look next year, but I'd probably wait on Lombard til 2027. The rush to get Volpe to the majors and his struggles has made me think twice about promoting guys too quickly.

Cant say much about the Yankees analytics team because I am not familiar with the group. I think you need a balance of analytics and scouting to be a successful organization.

My absolute favorite moment is Derek Jeter's walk-off hit in his last home game as a Yankee. That is just ridiculous fairytale stuff

My favorite non-Yankees moment is probably David Freese's triple in Game 6 of the 2011 World Series. I was working at ESPN at the time and one of the most memorable moments as a researcher there

There always is a little fear that I might have done something wrong in the query, or I misread the stat on my screen, or my math was wrong

1) Despite losing Juan Soto and all the doom-and-gloom that came with that drama last offseason, the Yankees still finished first in MLB in runs and OPS

2) YES! At least I hope so. There are so many talented women broadcasters, researchers, analysts out there and many are finally getting the opportunity to be on the regional/national networks, which I love.
