im going to guess aaron for 5.
ill guess cobb for 3.
ill guess rose for 6.

I'm going with Musial on #5.

Musial for 1 thru 6
Brooks Robinson 7 and 8. He hit into 4 triple plays in a 10 season span.

Musial
24x all star
GM of '67 Cards- his only GM stint
1,000+ games at 1b and OF
All star every year 46-63
Tied with Mays for AS total bases

I finally hunted down #3. Musial...found it here...

The New Biographical History of Baseball: The Classic—Completely Revised

EXACTLY RIGHT.

In fact I got the first 6 from reading the entry for Musial this morning in the New Biographical History of Baseball - indispensable, isn't it?

I was stunned by number 3 and intrigued by the rest. I looked up the All Star games records on baseball-reference.com and found the Brooks Robinson stat, which was bizarre and meant to throw you all off the track. Especially when I already knew the other Brooks Robinson record, of hitting into four triple plays, more than any other TEAM hit into during Brooksies' great career.

How can you have the record for triples in All Star Games and for career hitting into triple plays at the same time? Weird huh?

All the rest, as you found, are Stan Musial. Amazing. Stan the Man.

try figuring that one out with string theory.

Musial's '48 season was amazing. A rained out HR may have cost him the Triple Crown. He led every other NL offensive statistic that year. An OPS+ of 200, and 429 total bases...when he retired in '63, Musial held or shared 17 major league records, 29 NL records, and 9 All-Star Game records.

OF isn't a position. Musial only played 1000 games at 1B. He got close in LF, but he didn't get there.

Technically you are correct. He played 1,000+ games as a 1B, and as an outfielder.

Who is the only pitcher to record over 300 wins, over 3,000 strikeouts, and fewer than 1,000 walks?

Gotta be Maddux.

Yep

Who was the first American League player to reach 3,000 hits and 400 Home Runs?

What player holds the record for most consecutive seasons played?

Yaz for 3000/400, Rose for consecutive seasons?
