Old Judge Trivia Question Thread

[Misunderestimated]

Bobby --> You got it ! ... There was another one too (I messed up) Harry Stovey also barely made it.

This is the all-time runs per game list -- with a 500 game minimum and including the National Ass'n. The three guys with the asterisks played 1000+ games and are in the Old Judge set (although Hamilton was a "minor leaguer" as i recall)

__
George Wright - 1.13 (per game)
*Billy Hamilton - 1.06
Cal McVey - 1.05
*George Gore - 1.01
*Harry Stovey - 1.00
--
among the Old Judgers who almost made it are Brouthers, King Kelly, and Hub Collins (shorter career).
==
The "modern" post-1901 leaders at over 80% are Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Earl Combs and Red Rolfe --YANKEES, ALL

Cool! Here's another one, probably not easy–

Among players with OJ cards, six of the top ten career leaders in innings pitched are HOFers (Galvin, Nichols, Keefe, Welch, Clarkson, Radbourn). Who are the other four?

Consider "major leagues" only as currently defined by MLB.

[Misunderestimated]

One is Mullane (pretty sure).... another should be McCormick and.Another might be Bobby Matthews (I'm not sure if he ran up enough innings in the leagues that count)... That's just three. After that Im totally guessing...

[BobbyStrawberry]

You have three of the four, Brian, well done! Only one to go

[spec]

How about Gus Weyhing?

[oldjudge]

The best pitcher I can think of not on the list is Charlie Buffington, but I don’t know if he pitched long enough. In his day he was the equal on any pitcher.

[BobbyStrawberry]

spec, you got it! Weyhing is correct. Here is the list:

1. Pud Galvin 6003.1 (!)
2. Kid Nichols 5067.1
3. Tim Keefe 5049.2
4. Bobby Mathews 4956
5. Mickey Welch 4802
6. John Clarkson 4536.1
7. Count Mullane 4531.1
8. Old Hoss Radbourn 4527.1
9. Gus Weyhing 4337
10. Jim McCormick 4275.2

Charlie Buffinton is a few spots further down with 3404....not bad either!
