Tuesday nite TRIVIA ?

[Paul S]

They traded each other's respective 1939 Play Ball cards (sample backs IIRC), but Ted wanted + cash because it was his RC.

[bigtrain]

Same number of letters in their names. Three in first. Eight in last.

[gonzo]

Both were born in California and died in Florida.

[Peter_Spaeth]

Both were guests on What's My Line?

Both had higher batting averages than Joey Gallo.

Neither one had any at bats in 1961.

They were almost traded for each other (true).

[RedsFan1941]

What record did Ted set?

Yes Tim....too obvious

Although, the way the game is played nowadays, I think DiMaggio's 56-game streak will never be broken.

Gee, there sure are a lot of things Joe and Ted have in common. But, they are not answer I'm looking for. It's not complicated, it's very elementary.

So, I'll throw you a hint (which may throw some of you way off). Think Robert Redford (from the 1984 movie The Natural) as having this in common with Joe and Ted.

I don't think Joey Gallo knows what a batting average is, Pete, nor will he ever with that softball swing of his that starts in Mexico City and finishes in Montreal! Oh how much I have grown to hate the kind of idiocy that type of player represents. Just so tired of these (one of three) "true outcome" players--homerun, strikeout, or walk! If I was the Texas GM, he'd still be in the minors, learning to make contact with the ball (can't honestly say that he is aware that that is part of the game).

Happy collecting Pete,

Larry

[Bigdaddy]

They all hit a HR in their last at-bat?

[Rookiemonster]

They all played baseball ?

Adam Dunn may have been ahead of his time.
