Tuesday Trivia: Consecutive Games with an RBI

[Peter_Spaeth]

Since Gehrig hit behind Ruth I'll guess Gehrig. But more likely answer is, it's someone none of us would think of, and thus the question.

All fine guesses.

Right era

I had never heard of the player before, so I will start giving clues.

Clue 1: He had a twin brother and a son who also played in MLB.

Clue 2: His nickname was "Bummer", but it is unknown how he picked up the moniker.

Twin brother ?! .. That will certainly narrow it down .
I’m pretty sure it’s not Jose Canseco (?)

After the twin brother clue I easily looked it up, but I won’t say it because I don’t want to be THAT GUY. I wasn’t aware of him and his brother either. ETA he did it as a member of the Cubs which is cool.

Looked it up myself. Would never have guessed it in a million years. Never heard of the guy either, but he certainly had a bright run during his short stint in the majors.

Makes me want to learn more about him.

Yeah great batting average - Otherwise unfortunate

Clue 3: The player shares the same last name as a HOF pitcher who pitched in the same era and won a World Series with the Cardinals in '31 (he also pitched for Pittsburgh, Brooklyn, Giants, Cubs Boston Braves, and Yankees)

Clue 4: The player played his first game with Red Sox, in which he went 1-4 with a walk and a Run. But he never played another game for the Red Sox again. His longest stint with a team was the Cubs. But it was only for 4 seasons.

The pitcher is Grimes.
