Few (brain) teasers for y'all to ponder while we're waiting on this year's Fall Classic to begin.
1) When the Anaheim Angels made it to the Series in 2002, the 25-man roster they took with them to the best-of-seven championship did not have one player with any previous WS history. Before that, when was the last time a team took a 25-man group that had no World Series experience?
2) Four pitchers have seen at least 10 years pass between their first World Series to start a game and their second World Series to start a game. Two are in the Hall of Fame; two are not. Who are they? (Note that this isn't 10 years between their 1st and 2nd starting assignments).
3) Get in your Way Back Machines for this one, boys and girls. Who are the only two players to have been teammates on three different teams that won the World Series?
