This day in baseball: Records in stranding
August 10, 2017
On August 10, 1901, Frank Isbell of the Chicago White Sox set what was then an American League record by stranding 11 base runners as a result of his at-bats. The Indians beat Chicago, 11-7, at Cleveland’s League Park.
The current American League record for base runners stranded stands at 12, held in a tie by Trot Nixon (2003) and David Ortiz (2009). The NL record is 14, held by Ryan Zimmerman (2016).
