Without doing a search, take your guesses as to the city (for 5 points) and the players (10 points each). And to score a perfect 50, name the only other .350/30 club member that season.

STRANGE BUT TRUE: Of the four 1929 citymates, only one fiinshed in the top 10 of the MVP voting. Wow!
Must be Philadephia. Foxx, Simmons, Klein?
