[Chi_archie]

about to watch my Evansville + 7 wager in a bit. you have 10 mins to tail


but heard a fun baseball trivia and since we've had some of these type of threads lately, thought I'd make one to add to throughout the year.


no googling, think this one through


1. What was the only offensive category that Carlton Fisk ever led the league in for a season?

carlton fisk

[Cuse0323]

I know it, but won’t ruin it so quickly.

[Chi_archie]

carlton fisk

Yes he is the mlb career leader in being named Carlton Fisk , but that's not what I'm looking for

[habitualwinning]

Before my time but I'll take an honest stab. I'm guessing it's something bad since it's a trivia question about a good player. So I'll guess he led the league in strikeouts?

[Carseller4]

Hit by pitch

I just looked up his stats after I guess...ya way wrong on my guess. Dude never even had 100ks in a season that I saw. Such a terrible guess on my part. I apologize to his friends and family for such a terrible guess.

[Cuse0323]

[Chi_archie]

On a November 21st in the small town of Donora, PA (population 4,608) one of the greatest MLB players ever was born

who was it?

[habitualwinning]

Stan Musial? I apologize in advance if I'm way off I'm doing these honestly not looking anything up but I embarrassed myself on the last one. Fisk was a contact guy and I guessed strikeouts lol. I coulda sworn I heard something about Musial being born of a coal miner though.

[Chi_archie]

Stan Musial?

Yes Stan Musial was ONE Of the great baseball players born on Nov 21 in Donora.... who is the other?

[Stallion]

Ken Griffey JR

No idea on the other one. Musial was an even better man than player though. When Pujols was in his run of greatness in St. Louis, the media started calling him "the man" at first and he asked them to stop bc of Stan "the man" Musial. That's how much respect people had for Musial. There's an annual awards show named after Musial each year that celebrates sportsmanship and heroic achievements.

In 1980 Carlton Fisk also led all of the major leagues in being hit by pitches (13)

Which BTW is an offensive category.

Seattle had a bust of a pitcher Burrell that was legit shooter w the Bobcats or Hornets

[habitualwinning]

There's gotta be an NFL WR or TE that was also good at baskets that we're overlooking if nobody got it yet? Gd I can't think of one right now for some reason.
