Question
Dr. Schott,

While perusing the box score of the game that ended Lou Gerhrig's streak, I noticed every Yankee starter had at least one hit and one run. Do you know how many times a team has done this?

Answer
Hi Wayne,

This has happened hundreds and hundreds of times; it's happened hundreds  of times when players on both teams did this in game. My data run includes thousands of games. The Yankees alone accomplished this feat 118 times between 1920 and 2010.
