#3 is Jack Taylor! It's 202, including 187 (!) complete games and 15 relief appearances spread out between them. Longest streak of just CGs was 39.

#4 is not Jim Barr. I actually thought I knew this one earlier and found out I was wrong too

yeah, just looked it up....Barr did hold the record for a long time (41 batters...13 2/3 IP across 2 games) and you could win A LOT of bar bets with that one at the time.

For #4, ozo, I vaguely remember Bobby Jenks putting together a long perfect streak at one time. If he did break a record, it may have since been broken, but that's the name that came to mind.

I looked it up. Jenks tied Barr's record, then someone else beat their record, and then somebody else set the current record.

Yep, skunk is correct. I'm amazed anyone remembered Jenks's streak, though. Kudos for that

#4 . Yusimero Petit of the Giants set the consecutive batters retired streak in 2014.

Correct! Before that, it had been set by Mark Buehrle

Not Jim Kaat or Phil Niekro. Perhaps Pete Rose or Tommy John

Yeah Tommy John. That's my guess as well. If it's correct, give me a little bit of credit

Joe Slubotnik was Charlie Brown's favorite player. Can't remember Dennis the Menace's.

When was Bonds a rookie? When did Stan the Man retire?

1986 and 1963 respectively.

Rose is a good guess, but I will go with Jim Kaat as my guess.

Name the top 5 all-time E.R.A. pitchers, 1000 minimum innings pitched. From 1885 to present.
