    Playing defense well.

    I always play RTTS as a pitcher or a catcher because I can't catch the ball worth a damn.

      I have a lot myself. Never threw a no hitter or turned a triple play. My biggest one, that shouldn't be that hard, is have a starter win 20 games, lol. I play every game and the most I've won was 19 two years in a row with Lester. In my current season I have a rookie starter whose 8-1 at the end of May so I might finally get it done. Unless, of course I have a melt down after I carry it over to 16!

        I haven't thrown a perfecto but I can't claim it as my white whale as I'm not chasing a perfect game as my goal when pitching. I would have to say 115 wins in the regular seasons is the closest I'd have to a white whale. Every season I've played I've had it the back of my mind that this might be the season I do it. And I think that in spring training lol. Plenty of times I didn't even hit half of that 115 wins

              My white whale is to create a player with a peg leg and have him captain a whaling ship.


              But seriously, tossing a no no and winning a World Series are things I've yet to do in The Show (did both in the MVP series).

                I was finally able to accomplish some of these feats for RTTS with the y2y saves. My RTTS guy that I transferred from 14 to 15 is in his 20th season and I am now sitting on 3500 hits and 700 hrs. They seem like huge numbers but when I look back at his stats, he was just consistent, no huge unrealistic seasons. Which I'm pretty proud of.

                    Count me in with the "never played a full season" crowd.

                    Probably my only "cool" accomplishment was throwing an immaculate inning...

                      Exactly. My career highs are; 229 hits, .352 BA, 56 hrs, and 181 RBI's. The RBI stat always seems to be a little inflated, but I think that might be because the game consistently puts runners on in front of me.

                        Perfect game.

                        I have witnessed 2 no hitters. Justin Verlander threw one vs the Rays (me) in St. Pete and then a week later David Price threw one in Houston.

                        Thrilling to say the least.

                        Also had an 18k game by Jonathan Sanchez of the Giants vs San Diego years back.

                          Same as many have mentioned...the perfect game.

                          Have thrown 2 no hitters in past games but came up short of a perfect game in both. Maybe '16 is the year!

                            I'm on year 8 with my right handed left fielder for the Giants that I started in 2014. I'll continue with him until I hit retirement. But I want to use a starting pitcher in RTTS for multiple years. I can never do it. I always end up not liking the combination of pitches that I have.

                              It's funny. I finally got a no hitter in my final game of the World Series, so that would have been my answer at first but...!

                              My white whale is getting 7 RBIs in one game! I can get 6 all of the time but never can get this trophy.
