1950's Player Quiz

[GasHouseGang]

I thought it might be fun to post little interesting quiz questions about players from the 1950's, and let the members try to answer. I'll start:

Can you name him? This player retired in his early thirties as major-league baseball expanded westward, due to an intense fear of flying. After being a two-sport star in college, he was the first man to play in the Rose Bowl, the World Series, and the MLB All-Star Game.

That one I knew, Jackie Jensen.

[GasHouseGang]

That's right Cliff. Now it's someone else's turn.

Name a pitcher ( maybe the only one) to win a WS game in three different decades?

[Cliff Bowman]

I swear I didn’t cheat by looking him up but I did double check my guess because I couldn’t remember if he won a game in the 1983 World Series, Jim Palmer.

Who holds the record for most HR's in a season by brothers that were teammates?

Pretty sure that Whitey Ford won a game in the 1950 WS, then of course, several more in the '50's and 60's. By the way, as most numerologists know, decades begin with a year ending in the number one, and end with a year ending in zero.
