Rick Porcello is who you're looking for LKid.

Batting title w 0 Homer's is Willie Keeler dead ball era (also had a 45 game hit streak I think)

I errored at Seaver on the BoSox in 86 was a HOFer. Hernandez is not.

NOW...here's a question!!!

[MinnesotaFats]

Eddie Murray hit .330 in 1990 for LAD

In 1990 Willie McGee was traded from STL to OAK after qualifying for the NL lead (.334). He then slumped on Oak hitting .274, dropping his total average.

Brett hit .329 to take AL title
McGee .324


Who is only player to win batting titles in his 1st two seasons?

Who has hit the most homeruns in the Houston Astrodome?

[MinnesotaFats]

Who has hit the most homeruns in the Houston Astrodome?

Probably Jimmy Wynn but Glen Davis had 5 or 6 good seasons there. Either way it cant be a big number, as the boppers didnt come along till Enron Field.... I'd say Wynn with a total of maybe 115??

Molly did it in KC for the Twins!

[MinnesotaFats]

Only pitcher to lead both leagues in complete games same year?

[stevenash]

Molly is correct.
This is a good question, I pride myself on not cheating with these trivia questions so I need to think about this.
Had to be a pitcher traded in mid season or so or something like that.
I'll get it. (or not) lol

[stevenash]

I want to say Warren Spahn he had a rubber arm but he wasn't traded I don't think.
