Postwar Baseball Card Trivia
 

Lets see how good ya'all are:

1. 7 year period between 1966 and 1972 this player was on a Topps card with 7 different teams; didn't have a card for 1973 but appeared in 1974 with yet another different team. Who? Tommy Davis guessed correctly
2. This other guy didn't have a card in 1970, but in the remaining 5 years between 1967 and 1972, he appeared on a Topps card for a different team in each year. Jim Grant answered correctly
3. In the 5 year period between 1968 and 1972, three (3) guys appreared on Topps cards with 5 different teams. Name each of them. Hoyt Wilhelm, Donn Clendenon and Jose Cardenal
4. This future Hall of Famer's 2nd Topps card was 4 years after his rookie card. His 3rd card was 4 years after his 2nd. Tony LaRussa guessed correctly
5. This guy appeared on multi-player rookie cards 4 years in a row in the 1960's. Dick Simpson answered correctly
6. Even more impresive that the previous guy, this guy appeared on multi-player rookie cards 5 years in a row in the 1960's. Bill Davis answered correctly
7. This player appeared on multi-player rookie cards for 3 different teams in the 1960's. His first full card was with yet another team (pretty easy question here). Lou Pinella answered correctly

Thank you for playing

7 is Lou Piniella 64 Senators 68 Indians 69 Pilots 70 Royals

I don't know any others

4. Tony LaRussa I believe (64,68,72)

LaRussa (#4) and Pinella (#7) are both correct. Anyone else?

#1 Tommy Davis

Plus I only have two of the three players for #3.
Tommy Davis(of course) and Hoyt Wilhelm. I have no idea who the third is.

#5 is Bill Davis 1966-68 w/Indians, 1969 w/Padres.

correction, Bill Davis is answer to #6, 1965-1969.

Tommy Davis is the answer to #1: 1966 LA; 1967 NYM; 1968 ChiW; 1969 Sea; 1970 Hou; 1971 ChiC; 1972 Oak; 1974 Bal.

Hoyt Wilhelm is one of the 3 guys I'm looking for in #3. Tommy Davis, having been the answer to #1, wasn't one of the guys I'm looking for here. The other 2 guys are sorta trick questions [hint].

Outstanding - Rookie stars cards 5 years in a row; never appeared on his own card.

#5 is Dick Simpson 1963-65 Angels, 1966 Reds Rookie Stars.

#2 Jim Mudcat Grant

1967 Twins
1968 Dodgers
1969 Expos
1970
1971 Pirates
1972 A's

Also played w/Cardinals in 1969, but no card.

BB card trivia
 

Who was that the 1960s Tiger player/ pitcher who appeared in the 67T set and was mis-photographed twice..then finally in 68 set they got his picture correct ?

Damn. I was gonna guess Claude Raymond with his fly open on his 66 and 67 cards...Thought I might've had it, but he never played for Detroit.. Strangely enough, they did tease, as he had a similar pose on his '68 card, but this time with his zipper up..

tiger pitcher
 

No ,this guy appeared on three consectve 2 player rookie cards

Shouldn't be Korince. I know he was on 2 different 2 player rookie cards in the '67 set. But I thought the second one was correct..

rookie
 

Yes !, thats it Kornice...I probably got the question a bit chopped up...but there was something about his 3rd rookie card on 68T ..I thought the 1st two were not him..or maybe the 1st and 3rd were not him ??

The last 2 guys I was looking for in question #3, "In the 5 year period between 1968 and 1972, three (3) guys appreared on Topps cards with 5 different teams. Name each of them."
In addition to Hoyt Wilhelm (answered correctly), there were Donn Clendenon (68 Pit, 69 Mon, 69 Hou, 70/71 NYM, 72 Stl) and Jose Cardenal (68 Cal, 69 Cle, 70/71 Stl, 72 Mil, 72 ChiC)

New Question - Name this Player
 

Year 1, this guy appeared on not one, but two solo rookie cards in the same set.
Year 2, he appeared on a solo card.
Year 3, he didn't appear on a card.
Year 4, he appeared on a multi player rookie stars card.
Year 5 he appeared on a league leader card.
Who is this player (and how did he appear on two rookie cards in one set)?

Hi,

The answer to the last question should be Gary Peters. In 1960 his picture was switched with J.C. Martin, so he had his own card with Martin's picture, and his picture was on Martin's card. In 1961 he had his own card that had the Rookie Star logo, in 1962he was skipped, in 1963 he was on a multi-player rookie card- and that was the year he finally stuck with the White Sox- so in 1964 he had his own card and he was on a League Leader card as well. Jim Hicks had a similar situation: regular card in 1967 w/White Sox, dual rookie card in 1969 w/Cardinals, and a regular card w/Angels in 1970. He then had a few cards issued while playing in Japan with the Hiroshima Carp.

Regarding George Korince, his first 1967 rookie card with the Tigers showed Ike Brown, and a second rookie card was issued later in 1967 with his correct photo. In 1968 he is again on a Tigers rookie card.

Jeff

Gary Peters is correct.
