Gotta be Hal Schumacher who did it as part of his 13 year career.

How many games did he start his first full year AND his last year?
He did lose a certain number of games three times.
And how many times he fan as a batter in 1941? (Was that offset by the number of his hits the next year, the same year he had a certain number of putouts?)
You can only guess one of his uniform numbers the last year he played :eek:

Averaged 13 games started and 13 home runs allowed per year during his 13 year career.
And he and his wife had 13 kids! OK, I made that up. Also, I'm not sure what happened in 1931 and 1935 where I had to make up a couple of 13 occurences.

Just found this nugget:
July 15, 1935 - Cincinnati beats New York 13-6 and ends Hal Schumacher win streak at 11. It is Schumacher first career loss to the Reds since joining the Giants in 1931 (of course 31 backwards is 13).
