O/T trivia
Name a team (postwar) that had on its roster in a single season a 300 game winner, 3 200 game winners, and 4 150 game winners. In case it is not clear, this is 8 total pitchers, no overlap.

Without looking, I think it was one of the Dodgers teams around '65-'66, with Koufax, Drysdale, Sutton and Claude Osteen, if I remember right...
|
anyone?
C'mon, does no one know? I had a couple guesses, but checked & I was wrong. Very anxious to see the answer.
|
Will give it until tomorrow .... not even any guesses except one...
|
Had they all already won that many games or had some of them not yet reached the mark?
|
Not yet reached --- career totals.

Sutton 324 John 288 Hough 216 Welch 211 Sutcliffe 171 Stewart 168 Rhoden 151 Hooton 151 |

Darn, Peter, I was hoping for a "That's not the answer I'm looking for" response.
The best trivia questions have multiple answers, even when there's only one answer. |
OK here's one, a team with a 300 game winner and 4 200 game winners.

1990 Rangers: Ryan plus Brown, Rogers, Hough, Moyer

Who has the highest lifetime batting average of all players who played in at least 500 games?
|
Is this a trick question and it's not Cobb?

It used to be...
Terry Forster.
But, since then Roberto Hernandez finished up his career with a .500 batting average (1/2) in 1010 games. I think there was one other guy who finsihed 1/1 in his career that beats Hernandez. |

|
Over 16 seasons Forster was 31 for 78, for a batting average of .397. That's not easy to do.
|
The questions said 500 games or more. I am assuming it is whoever has the highest batting average according to the recent Negro League statistics project which compiled partial statistics based on verifiable box scores. Judy Johnson maybe?
|
Terry Forster played in 620 games. So he does fit the question.

A bit O/T but a question which I thought was pretty interesting when I just heard it, so I'll toss it out to keep the trivia going....
Four colleges who can claim a Super Bowl winning QB and a US President as their graduates. One of the schools had two QB’s. Name the school, QB and President. |
Stanford -- Herbert Hoover and Jim Plunkett. I know Gerald Ford went to Michigan but I can't think of any Michigan QB who won the Heisman.
|
West Point - Eisenhower/Staubach
|

And there WAS a QB from Michigan... |

No... |
Staubach went to Annapolis (Navy) and Jimmy Carter. Stanford had both Elway and Plunkett as QBs and Hoover. Also Tom Brady went to Michigan and Gerald Ford too.
|
Roethlisberger and Benjamin Harrison.
|
Both Big Bens from Miami (OH). Harrison and Rothlesberger
|
Academy schmademy, sorry about the wrong school, I was in the neighborhood. My apologies to all Annapolis grads. :D

Hoover/Plunkett and Carter/Staubach would also work IF the question had been Heisman winners. Several presidents went to Yale and without cheating I have a vague memory from somewhere that early on a Yale quarterback won the Heisman.
|
You guys got 'em all...
Stanford - Elway / Plunkett as QB's, Hoover as Prez Michigan - Brady as QB, Ford as Prez Miami (OH) - Roethlisberger as QB, B. Harrison as Prez Navy - Staubach as QB, Carter as Prez |
Who am I?
I thought I had the world by the tail, in my major league debut at age 18 I went 3 for 3 with 2 walks,scored 4 runs, and drove in 3. Then I got hurt, and watched my 2 younger brothers play in the major leagues, while I never played again. |
Tom Paciorek's brother Jim?

O/T trivia
I think it was John Paciorek.

I'm having a rough day, Army/Navy - Jim/John. :eek:

Brother Tom of course had a long succesful career, Jim played one year. |
