The Ultimate Baseball Trivia Test
The Final Ultimate Baseball Trivia Test is contained on Post #25 in this thread. No question has been excluded.
Answers should not be posted once again. Give everyone a chance to complete the test first. Previous answers given can be assumed to be incorrect. Start at Post #25. Good Luck. Just for fun. No way to exclude answers searched for. I doubt anyone knows 10 answers or more without looking them up. Collectively we have been able to develop a test of 23 questions that would be difficult to pass with or without looking up the answers. Answers to certain questions may be easy for some, but should be difficult for most members. All questions were included in the final exam. Go directly to Post 25 Question #1 may give you an idea of what may qualify. 1. What is the building in straight away center field that every batter at Comerica Park sees when batting? |
Probably too easy for this group.
1. Name the Team and the year that fielded the first all-black starting line-up in MLB history. 2. Name the 1st player to hit 500 home runs in the National League. |
1970 or 1971 Pirates

Even with all the home runs of the roid era there are still only 4 players with at least 10 letters in their last name who hit 40 or more home runs in a season. Can you name them?
Only three Major League MVP's were also college football All-Americans. Who are they? Only one person is in both the football and baseball Halls of Fame. Who is it? |

A Bit OT:
Which one of my older brother's cocky-ass, six foot five inch friends, who claimed he was the best Wiffle Ball pitcher on God's green Earth and would strike little old me out in three pitches, saw me hit a monstrous homer clear over the roof of our house in dead centerfield on his very first pitch? :D:eek::D |
