[D. Bergin]

They both hit 61 HR's, 61 years apart, while smoking Camel Cigarettes.

Both Maris and Judge have first and last names with 5 letters?

This is very true, guys.


But, it is not the answer for the 2nd part of this trivia quiz.

Hint....numbers need not apply....think otherwise.

In the title of this thread, I noted that this was a 2-part quiz.

The 1st part was quickly answered correctly by Mac W (see above Quote).

The correct answer to 2nd part was simply...."all three played in RF for the Yankees".

And, no one provided this answer.

Those very simply were the 2 coincidences.

And, you just said it..... "No big deal really". Perhaps, I should have stated the question more clearly.
But, what has resulted in this thread is a damn shame.

I've been posting on Net54 for 18 years, and have never seen such craziness....over something so simple.

I'm commenting on how your post came across, not what your private intent was. Massive straw man. And I think most people would find this pretty confrontational:

"And before you even try to go and say it doesn't count because he didn't also include Ruth, remember it was you who originally asked about the coincidences if/when Judge should hit his 61st home run."

It's just an innocent trivia question, dude - not even Final Jeopardy.

Is it that have 9s in the uniform numbers?

Also, why is a Babe Ruth card in the post?
