I will award the Trivia King trophy to Frank W.
Frank W's response is just shy of the answer I was expecting. Once Ed Delahanty combined his mind with his physical skills to play the game, he was a tremendous ballplayer. For Big Ed's best 13 seasons of his 16-year career his Batting Average was .364 (only 2-points shy of Ty Cobb's .366 BA). And both of them batted 400+ three times. The Brothers Delahanty......

You alluded to it. Frank elaborated more regarding Delahanty's hitting performance. Furthermore, Frank also responded to the 2nd part of this quiz. Anyhow, you get awarded the runner-up Trophy. TED Z T206 Reference . |

![]() Ed Delahanty was a 20 year old rookie in 1888 when he joined the Philadelphia Phillies. His first 5 years he averaged only .270 BA. Then in 1893, he hit for a .368 BA. For the following 10 years of his career, Big Ed consistently hit well above .300 (including .400+ in 3 of 11 seasons). I calculated his Batting Average for these 11 years, and it is an amazing .373 TED Z T206 Reference . Last edited by tedzan; 02-03-2022 at 11:39 PM. Reason: Corrected typo. |

So much for either our math skills or reading comprehension or both.
It was fun but I was lost
