Forum: Trivia

Inspired by GiambiJuice, I made my own quizzes on Sporcle. Here are the links for anyone interested in playing them. Have fun! http://www.sporcle.com/games/DJC83/2000_games_team/ http://www.sporcle.com/games/DJC83/400_gspitch_team/ http://www.sporcle.com/games/DJC83/worldserieslosers/

1. This pitcher started the opener of a post season series after posting a 0-0 record during the regular season. 2. Also, he along with Hall of Famers Red Ruffing and Early Wynn are the only three pitchers to accomplish a certain feat as well. Name this young man.....

This is thread number 2,000.... Sorry, I just happened to notice and couldn't resist. Gotta do something, so how about naming the last major league team these guys played for? 1. Harmon Killebrew 2. Lefty Gomez 3. Hank Greenberg 4. Vic Wertz

Two clues: 1. I played in two World Series, more than a decade apart from one another, and was on the winning side in both of them. 2. In one of the two World Series, I would normally not have been allowed to play, but the opposing team's owner allowed me to.

1) As of 2009, who has the most games played at one defensive position?

Christy Mathewson Jesse Barnes Bill Donovan Bob Shawkey Orval Overall Ray Collins

In 1955 Ted Williams had 28 home runs and 24 Ks. In 2004 Bonds had 45 and 41. Was George Brett in 1980 the only (title qualifying) player to do it between that period, or just the only guy with over 20 home runs? Also, Brett had more RBI than games played that year. Also among those...

These questions are really trivial. I've posted them on another site I frequent as well, but please don't use that site to cheat if you know what site I'm talking about. Some of these are really easy, some of them are tougher. Try not to look them up! Have fun :) Who was the only post-1950...

Hey guys, I just created a new quiz on Sporcle and wanted to share it with you. Enjoy! http://www.sporcle.com/games/sinatra22/300_400_500hitters

Are there any pitchers that Mark McGwire and Roger Maris both got hits off of?

I was reading on another site questions that some people asked, and they didn't have answers for their questions. So, I thought I'd pose those questions in this thread, along with any other questions I may think up... 1. Who is the oldest first-time All-Star in MLB history? 2. Has a big...

Has this list been created before? I'm just wondering, which players were born and died on the same day (in different years, obviously)?

Many players of historical significance are related to one another. Some are easy to spot if they have the same last names. For ten points, and the bragging rights that go with a question like this... Bill Lange was the uncle of what major league player? You get fifteen points if you...

Name the last player to have 6 hits in a game at Fenway Park.

Finally, for the handful of you who had interest in this and haven't lost it yet, here's a list of managers with the most games managed (2,000+) for one franchise. I think it's safe to say that no one is ever going to top Mack. ## Manager Franchise Seasons Managed ...

Similar to my previous thread on the most games played for one franchise, here is a list of most games pitched for one franchise (500 and up) as of the end of the 2009 season. I added an IP per game column to differentiate between starters and relievers. ## Pitcher Franchise ...

For the enjoyment of those who enjoy such things, below is a list I compiled of all players as of the end of the 2009 season who have played in 2,000 or more regular season games with one franchise. (Finding the date of the 2,000th game was the most challenging part.) ## Player ...

A few questions: Has any pitcher ever had a one pitch big league debut? That is, they made their debut, threw one pitch, and that was it for their first game? Has any pitcher ever had a one pitcher career? Has any position player ever had a one pitch debut (they were in for only one...
