AboutTom Schott Expertise I will deal with the major leagues only from 19th century to present. I`m good on baseball history, records, statistics, ballparks. I don't do off-the-field stuff. Please if you already know the answer to the question, please don't ask it. I don't want to play "stump the expert."

Question I was looking for who has the most sacrifice hits from 2000-2009 and can't find a stat engine website that will let me sort this out. I was on mlb.com, but they separate out by position and team so a player's true totals aren't matched in (I can't see 1B-OF Albert Pujols true totals blended in nor can I view someone like Juan Pierre who played for multiple teams blended in.
Is there a free site that allows this?
Answer Christopher,
Here is a list of the top half dozen guys who got the most sacrifice hits from 2000-2009. Note that three of them played only 9 of the 10 years.

There is no free site that I know of on the Web to get you this information. I pay a small sum each year to baseball-reference.com for something called the "Play Index" which allows me to slice and dice individual and team statistics in a zillion different ways. This search here took about 30 seconds.
