Let's go with a two part question about bats. 1 vintage, 1 modern.

1)Who was the first player to order a bat with a knob?

2)Who was the first player to use a Maple bat?

Yes. Tim Hudson is another. So that's three now. As soon as C.C. and Hudson get their losing seasons or .500 seasons out of the way, Ruth will once again be the answer...

Rebel Oakes is the answer to #2.

I honestly have no clue as to whether or not that's true. I think I worded the question wrong.. Let me rephrase then, Who was the first player to use a major league sanctioned Maple bat?

ok. It took a while, but I thought of one. From reading this thread, this should be an easy one.

Name the players whom had at least a .330 lifetime batting average and fewer than 500 strikeouts at the time they hit their 300th home run.

(4 players)

I think Mr. Musial would be one of the four.

Musial
Williams
DiMaggio
Pujols

...was my guess this morning. I just checked my answer and my guesses were correct. Three pretty good guys for Pujols to be in company with. Good question...

Next question: WHO IS THE ONLY AFRICAN-AMERICAN SWITCH-HITTER TO WIN THE A.L. MVP AWARD?

I'm pretty sure that would be Vida Blue.

Here's one: Who was a major league teammate of both Hack Wilson and Ernie Banks?

I knew that trivia question wouldn't last long on this board. I first heard about this in the Sports Illustrated Bryce Harper issue a couple of years ago. If I remember correctly, SI forgot the 500 strikeouts fact in that article. Leaving the strikeout part out of the question results in a field of around 10 players. --I think??
