350 Runs that never were...

The record for most double plays grounded into is 350 in a career. And it was Cal Ripken's career. That's 700 outs in 350 swings. In each double play grounder, Ripken is an out, but another runner is erased. Of all 350 of Ripken's double plays, here are the most victimized baserunners:

33 Rafael Palmeiro
25 Lee Lacy
21 Brady Anderson
19 Jim Dwyer
18 Harold Baines
18 Bobby Bonilla
17 Mike Devereaux
14 Dan Ford
14 Joe Orsulak
12 Jeff Conine
11 Eddie Murray
11 Fred Lynn

Ripken also drove in 13 runs on double plays (which he collected a total of 0 RBI on)
