I have a new game that I am starting.It's a little different than the picture games in selected forums.

In this game,I will give you a stat,a historic game note,an individual accomplishment,or something completely off the wall.All you have to do is guess the player.Very simple.

I will start this off with this one;

This White Sox player once drove in 6 runs in 1 inning.Who is it?

Nellie Fox or Minnie Minoso are the 1st two names that come to mind.

Sorry,it's not those 2.

Note to self;Always start the game with an easy question.

I'll give a hint here;

This person managed the Minnesota Twins in the 60s

I didn't know it, so out of curiosity, I baseballreferenced it. So I won't give it away, I'll see if anybody else knows it.

The only Twins manager from the '60s I can think of is Sam Mele. I don't remember reading about him as a player, but it seems likely to me.

Congratulations VIBaseball.It is Sam Mele.You have set off the scoreboard here.

Sam Mele drove in 6 runs in 1 inning on June 10,1952 against the Philadelphia A's.

Who Am I #2

Ok,here's one from recent times.

I was the 1st White Sox to have an 8 RBI game.I had to get to the ballpark really early to do this.Who Am I?

Just a bump here.

Another clue;

I lead the Sox with 14 home runs in 1976.

well in 1976, two players hit 14 home runs, jorge Orta, and Jim Spencer,
but my guess would be Jim Spencer

Well, in that case, just for a chance to win, I'll take Jorge Orta.

Correct!!!

Jim Spencer is the man I'm looking for.

Great job GMWBAW.
