Holy cow, check out that Darren Daulton 5-for-5 game. He led off 3 separate innings with hits and yet didn't score. One time he got forced at second on a bunt, and the Phils went on to score 3 runs that inning. That's one reason why the Runs stat for individuals is broken a little bit. Fast guys who hit into fielder's choices but avoid getting doubled up steal a few runs here or there. (But of course, they do deserve a run in comparison to the guy who hits into the double play, plus the original baserunner might not have eventually scored if he's slower...)

Very interesting record. From the first table, Jason Kendall and Rafael Palmeiro even had 2 2B, respectively. So unbelievable.
