Tough (but Fun) Baseball Card Trivia
I like trivia that makes you think for a while before you get the answer. Hate trivia that can be easily looked up on-line. So, let's see how good you are:
Postwar Baseball cards (Topps 1952 - 1980): 1) The set containing the most rookie cards of 20 game winners had 8. Name the set, and of course I'd expect you to name the pitchers involved. Bonus question: There were two other sets that contained the rookie cards of 7 twenty game winners. Interestingly the two sets with 7 and the one set with 8 all ran consecutively. Name the two sets with 7, and of course I'd want you to name the corresponding players.

I believe 1965 had 7: Carlton, Niekro, McLain, Lonborg, Stottlemyre, Hunter, and Tiant (Blass and Briles came close at 19)

I got 7 too, but I included Dierker, but not Niekro. He did have a "Rookie Card" in '65, but his true rookie card was '64 Topps.

Probably 66 with a start of Palmer Jenkins and Sutton, plus Bill Singer on the same card with Sutton, but I can't think of the rest.

I believe you can add Bill Hands and Jim Merritt to those four from 1966.

1965 with 7 is correct (Larry Dierker was the 7th, not Phil Niekro who's RC was 1964). You guys are on the right path with 1966... but who were the remaining 20 game winners?
