About Tom Schott
Expertise
I will deal with the major leagues only from 19th century to present. I`m good on baseball history, records, statistics, ballparks. Try to stick to on-the-field stuff. I`m not interested in personal off-the-field stuff like spouses, girl friends, drug habits, salaries, mascots, etc. If you already know the answer to the question, please don't ask it. I don't want to play "stump the expert."

Experience
I've written on the subject, and I have substantial library of resources.

Publications
Numerous encyclopedia, newspaper, magazine articles. One book, several book chapters.

Education/Credentials
Ph.D. in American history.

Awards and Honors
Bevy of writing awards.

Expert: Tom Schott - 7/19/2007

Question
I'm looking for the player who had the most plate appearances in one season without hitting a homerun.

Jason Kendall had 601 PA in 2005 without a homerun. Is there anyone who have done worse?

Answer
Marco,

 There are a huge number of players who did worse. Here are the top half dozen in the long list:

1    Rabbit Maranville        1922      747       0   
2    Bill Wambsganss          1924      731       0   
3    Richie Ashburn           1957      729       0   
4    Donnie Bush              1914      721       0   
5    Johnny Pesky             1947      719       0
