MLB Trivia Time (Ouch)

[MinnesotaFats]

Who holds the Rangers' single-season record for triples?

Sierra had a bunch in 88 or 89. Guy was a stud, surprised his numbers are still relevant given all the sluggersTexas has had.

[MinnesotaFats]

Who's the only player to get a hit in 2 games, for 2 different teams, off 2 hall of fame pitchers, in the SAME DAY

I think you may be right Minny. He put up some great years late 80s, early 90s. Sierra was a great pure hitter.

Sierra is the perfect example of a guy you kind of forget about because the steroid era stats were just stupid.

[BigJay]

Joel Youngblood.

[Dr. Fager]

Name the multiple Cy Young winner who never surrendered a grand slam during his career.

[Chi_archie]

[Dr. Fager]

Not Sandy, who's autograph I once obtained way back when. I mention it because he wasn't known at the time for giving them out.

[BigJay]

Palmer

[BigJay]

What pitcher notched the most wins in MLB history, but ironically never won a Cy Young Award.

[Dr. Fager]

Jim Palmer, Baltimore Orioles . Correct.

[Chi_archie]

What pitcher notched the most wins in MLB history, but ironically never won a Cy Young Award.

also most all time losses

[BigJay]

also most all time losses

He pitched 453 innings one season and didn’t even lead the league. How fast were those guys pitching back then??

[MinnesotaFats]

Well it'd be Cy Young himself lol

But in modern times it's gott be Nolan Ryan

[MinnesotaFats]

There are 30 members of the 500 home run club.

Henry Aaron.
Eddie Murray
Big Frank

Might be more but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head

[stevenash]

Yeah, it was Sierra.
Dude was a slugger, but was wound up too tight in the head.
He had that Latin temper.

[Dr. Fager]

Guessing here myself, Williams, Ramirez, Sheffield?

[stevenash]

I know Raffy never hit 50 in a season, he never led the league in homers either, that much I know.
I'm trying to think if there was another one.

[BRAVES1985]

I dont think pujols did either

[MinnesotaFats]

You guys are naming the right names...

...but would it shock you to know that 15 of the 30 members never hit 50.

That's a true testimonial to a great and consistent career

not that surprising to me.

When I grew up as a fan, 50 was super rare. went decades before and after George Foster's 50.

there prob were only a handful of guys not named Babe Ruth that did it before him.

i'm sure most of the 15 are very modern players. Babe, Mantle, Mays would have done it, but not sure if any others like Mel Ott might have done it before Foster

[MinnesotaFats]

Foxx hit 58 in '32

Actually I was off on the figure

Aaron
Pujols
Robinson
Killebrew
Jackson
Ramirez
Williams
Ott
Mathews
Banks
Mccovey
Palmerio
Sheffield
Thomas
Murray
Schmidt

So 16 never did it

What Yankee threw the pitch that Red Sox Brock Holt hit the homer to complete his cycle in the 2018 ALDS?

[Louisvillekid1]

Chase utley was my first thought

for Original question

[MinnesotaFats]

What Yankee threw the pitch that Red Sox Brock Holt hit the homer to complete his cycle in the 2018 ALDS?

Gotta be from the pen

Robertson
Chapman
betances

tough ass questions

[MinnesotaFats]

It's been 11 years since we've seen a pitcher win his 300th game.

It likely won't ever happen again, as Verlander would need to win 26 games per year for 3 straight years to get there....as he's the closest.

Who was the last pitcher to win 300 games?

Can you name the last 4 to win 300? They all did it within 3 years of one another.

[Louisvillekid1]

Gotta be

both ATL pitchers
big unit
rocket

[MinnesotaFats]

Thou Glavine did it w Mets...

[Louisvillekid1]

Thou Glavine did it w Mets...

[stevenash]

That scrub catcher Routillinie or something like that!

[Louisvillekid1]
