Baseball trivia
Who was the only player to play in 3 different cities all for the same franchise?
I have fairly recently started picking up items from this player and just learned this about him today and thought it was kind of cool.

Since nobody knew or even made a guess I will give the answer.
This amazing player played one less year in the 50's than Mickey Mantle and still hit 19 more homers during the decade. Yes Eddie Mathews he played for the Braves in Boston, Milwaukee, and Atlanta. Last edited by bnorth; 12-10-2016 at 08:07 PM.

Eddie Mathews - and I knew it before reading the second post.
Ben - you got to give us old folks a chance to respond.

Ok so here is a follow up question to the Mathews. Who is the only pitcher to record a win against the Braves in all three of their cities?

I'd have answered if I'd seen the question, Ben. I knew this. Of course, I'm a Braves nut, so I know a lot of stuff I shouldn't.

Isn't Andrew Jones first with 92, Aaron second with 89, and Eddie third with 87?
My earlier guess was based on Eddie being first and Aaron second. I had completely forgot about Andrew Jones having some monster years. Last edited by bnorth; 12-11-2016 at 06:05 AM.

I see now my question is ambiguous let me reword. Who hit home runs in the most consecutive seasons with the Braves is what I meant to ask. Aaron is first who is second?

Rosen, but I didn't realize he was produced in Gainesville since he was born in Spartanburg, SC.

Speaking of pitchers hitting home runs (that was a trick question
 ), what three pitchers hit a home run in the postseason but never hit one in the regular season? One of them was still active as of last year.

What pitcher won the ROY, Cy Young and MVP AND finished his career in Japan as a power hitting outfielder?
It's way too easy to look this one up based on the award info, but I still love the question. Pretty sure he's the only pitcher to win the big three awards.

I will guess the obvious, Aaron, Mays, F Robinson, Banks, I think those are the top HR hitters of his ERA in the NL.

Felipe Alou takes Mays' place on list.
