Default Brown. Black & Blue, Boners & Balks - The B thread

No, my friends, this is not another mundane T206 thread about Ed Abbaticchio's sleeves, but rather a brief trivia question for your entertainment and edification (too clever).

What distinction do Mordecai and Vida share?

Other than,

they both have three or more fingers or,

they both have colorful last names.

Default Jon,

It's cruel to kill a trivia thread in 17 minutes if you know the answer.

Maybe I should have asked what their genealogic connection was.

Both are related to Abbaticchio's sleeves.


Blue's lifetime BA of .103 might qualify him for the worst switch hitter of all time. I'll let someone else check this out.

Justin Smoak is giving Vida a run for this distinction. And I have to watch it every day because Wedge keeps running him out there.

A mighty fine talent indeed!

(without using google or any other search engine) can you tell me what the rarest talent in baseball is?

With your quick two minute response you definitely just killed your own thread : ).

Headed to work; have a great day Frank.

Craig


EDIT NOTE: The first baseball player to pitch righty and lefty in the same game was Louisville's Tony Mullane in 1882.

Shows what I know. I would have said drag bunt from either of them batting righty.
