Trivia Questions
 
Posted By: <b>Bob C</b><p>Here's some fun to beat the Tuesday blues.<br /><br />-What MLB owner said " I love my money and I love my players. I just don't <br /> want them in the same room together." <br />Should be an easy one. BRANCH RICKEY IS CORRECT<br /><br />-What MLB owner, when asked if his team was for sale said "Sir, my hat, <br /> my coat, my cane and watch are all for sale, at the right price."<br />Quotation is from memory but substantially correct. Think his wife was worried? CHARLES COMISKEY IS CORRECT<br /><br />-What journeyman Los Angeles Dodger hit a home run in his first at bat as a<br /> Dodger?<br />Hint, he is still active in MLB.<br />Another easy one. HMMM...TURNING OUT TO BE NOT SO EASY...ANOTHER HINT: Toothpick in Mouth...<br />DUSTY BAKER is the correct answer!<br />

Posted By: <b>Phil</b><p>I don't think Jose Offerman is still active. After he whacked that pitcher with a bat in the Independent League, he might be active in the California Penal League.

Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>3. Is UL Washington still active??? I remember he never appeared anywhere without a toothpick in his mouth. If he is still active he must be in some bush league somewhere.<br /><br />I think #2 is Harry Frazee not Charlie Comiskey.

Posted By: <b>Richard Cline - RC</b><p>I was thinking Dusty Baker when you mentioned the toothpick but I wouldn't classify him as a journeyman even though he played for more than one team.<br /><br />RC

Posted By: <b>Bob C</b><p>Richard, I guess I agree with you he was not technically a journeyman player but Dusty Baker is the correct answer. <br />Eight years with Atlanta, Eight with the Dodgers, a season with the Giants and his last two with the A's. Then on to managing!<br />Frankly, I enjoyed watching him play as a Dodger in the 80's.

Posted By: <b>Phil</b><p>To say Dusty Baker is still "active" is very misleading. To call a manager active is a stretch.

Posted By: <b>Richard Cline - RC</b><p>I think "active in MLB" is accurate for anyone involved with MLB, such as players, managers, gm's, etc...<br /><br />As a Red's fan, hoping that Dusty can get things going in Cincy!<br /><br />RC
