WEDNESDAY NITE TRIVIA

This T206 guy was not a "star" player; nevertheless, he had a 15-year career in Professional Baseball.

The first person with the correct answer will be rewarded with a T206 card.

My first guess was Jimmy Williams but he didn't have 2 homers in the August game where he did have 6 hits. I now have figured out where I should be looking.

Gavvy Cravath, one of Cantillon's boys.

Home Run Baker?

[judsonhamlin]

Blind guess here, but is it Cy Seymour?

Good morning, guys,

He is not a HOFer.....neither, has he an obscure name

Tough one Ted. My guess is we are looking for a SL T206 player. I learned that they should actually be called Southern Association players.

MLB stats are readily available and no MLB player touches all the bases.

Dutch Jordan fits the 15-year career in Professional Baseball.

Was it this guy?

This is getting interesting.

However, this mystery player is not Dutch Jordon or Schulte.

Danny Murphy?

Hal Chase? He's fresh in my mind since I recently finished the biography written by Martin Kohout (thanks to this forum for the recommendation!)

EDIT: Never mind. I missed the "was not a star player" clue.

[Vintagecatcher]

Ted,

Was this feat done in a single game or a double header? I'm guessing a double header!

I'm guessing this as well due to the use of the word "day" instead of "game" in the question.

Patrick, you are getting warm. Your guess is correct. However the 2nd game was only 6 innings, as it got to dark to continue.

Frank Delehanty in 1906?

With 'day' instead of 'game', any searches could reflect that the 6 hits, the 4 runs and the 2 homers could all be spread out over a double-header...or, for that matter, a double-header following the completion of a suspended game or a mixture of all.

UNCLE!

I Call UNCLE ALSO


The closest I came to that is Shohei Ohtani or Dave "King Kong" Kingman

I like Mickey Doolan too

How about Fielder Jones

We have a WINNER ! The "Trivia King" is Bill King naming Frank Delehanty.

In the title I alluded to.... "a magic day in Aug", which was the key to the answer. August 31st appears to be a great day for hitting Home Runs in New York City.
Delahanty had a great day in New York on Aug 31st 1906 playing for the Highlanders. Read all about it.... https://www.beabetterhitter.com/hist...ank-delahanty/

That was a great question! Never would've guessed..... and those were the only 2 homers Frank hit that year (he only had 5 in his major league career.)

[king11]

Thanks for such a fun trivia question, Ted. This sent me down all sorts of incorrect paths - Heinie Wagner once hit two home runs in a game in August; did "magic August day" mean a no-hitter or something like that; was this a minor league game? The extra clues of the not-unknown name and the six inning doubleheader gave me just enough information to eventually find it, after spending a frankly embarrassing (and quite enjoyable) amount of time perusing old box scores. Thanks for the fun!

Bill

[clydepepper]

...and another detail I missed: I thought the date was specifically the date of the thread - August 18 - but 'this' was in reference to the T206 guy, not the date.

Ted- I will more closely follow the details in the future.

It was fun and enlightening, if frustrating.

Thanks

Great question Ted.
I might need your cooperation in explaining to my wife, "what the heck" I was doing up on my phone at 1 o'clock in the morning...lol
