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.
