It's amazing how easy it is when you use Google

**McLegend** · 08-19-2007, 05:15 PM

Baseball-reference.com there, sir.

**The Miz** · 08-19-2007, 08:24 PM

Isn't the point of trivia to see whether or not you know it. I know some handicapped kids that could probably look it up

Isn't the point to answer the questions so the game can still go on?

**Supreme Olajuwon** · 08-19-2007, 09:38 PM

No, it is not.

Name the player with the most World Series rings who never played for the Yankees.

**YOUR Hero** · 08-19-2007, 11:10 PM

yeah, don't google shit

Make it hard/fun

**YOUR Hero** · 08-19-2007, 11:12 PM

Tony C.

read up on him last year and a bit again this year, pretty interesting career.

**YOUR Hero** · 08-19-2007, 11:12 PM

In regards to Supreme's question: Barry Bonds.

**YOUR Hero** · 08-19-2007, 11:44 PM

I'd think it's a Giant or Dodger. Most likely a New York Giant or Brooklyn Dodger

**Supreme Olajuwon** · 08-20-2007, 02:38 PM

Hints:

-He never played for a New York team period
-He is a Hall of Famer
-He is in the top 30 all time in avg, OBP, runs, hits, triples, and stolen bases

**Adder** · 08-20-2007, 04:45 PM

I'd think maybe an Oakland A from their 70's teams.

**The Miz** · 08-20-2007, 04:50 PM

My guess is Eddie "College Boy" Collins

**Supreme Olajuwon** · 08-20-2007, 04:55 PM

Eddie Collins would be the correct answer.

5 rings with the Philadelphia A's, 1 with the Chicago White Sox

**The Miz** · 08-20-2007, 05:53 PM

Shoulda been 2

**Supreme Olajuwon** · 08-20-2007, 06:01 PM

Reds would've won anyway

**Loose Cannon** · 08-20-2007, 06:10 PM

lol.

Collins hit like shit in that series. I thought it had to have been someone from the A's. I was going to post Stuffy McGinnis, but it didn't sound right to me. Miz

**Supreme Olajuwon** · 08-20-2007, 07:15 PM

There have only been 15 times in major league history that a player has collected at least 240 hits in a season. Of those 15 cases, only 3 times did the player who had at least 240 hits win the MVP award. Name those 3 players.

**Supreme Olajuwon** · 08-20-2007, 07:16 PM

Daren Erstad is not one of them.

**YOUR Hero** · 08-20-2007, 07:36 PM

Ichiro, Williams, Brett?

**The Miz** · 08-20-2007, 09:33 PM

Ichiro, Cobb, Hornsby

**Supreme Olajuwon** · 08-21-2007, 01:10 AM

Ichiro and Cobb are correct. Hornsby despite having one of the greatest individual seasons of all time in 1922 where he had 250 hits, .401 avg, 141 runs, 42 homers, 152 rbis did not win the MVP because nobody in the National League won the MVP.

The final person had 240+ hits twice.

**YOUR Hero** · 08-21-2007, 10:58 AM

Joe Jackson?

**Loose Cannon** · 08-21-2007, 11:01 AM

Jackson never won an MVP. his 1911 season was very close to Cobbs though.

pretty sure it has to be Sisler. He won an MVP in the 20's and I'm just taking a guess it was the same year he had around 240 hits.

**YOUR Hero** · 08-21-2007, 11:08 AM

I didn't realise Sisler won any MVP's, thought of him right away.... As for Jackson, no MVPs? Huh.

**Loose Cannon** · 08-21-2007, 11:12 AM

nope. his 1911 and 1912 seasons could be argued, but it went to Cobb and then Speaker.

**Supreme Olajuwon** · 08-21-2007, 12:23 PM

Sisler is correct. He won in 1922 by hitting .420 with 246 knocks. He benefited from Cobb, Ruth and Speaker all missing a number of games that year.

Interestingly enough Ichiro and Sisler both had seasons with more hits than they did the year they won.

**Supreme Olajuwon** · 08-21-2007, 12:42 PM

Name the 4 sets of teammates who've each driven in at least 150 runs in the same season. One player did it with two separate teammates.

**Loose Cannon** · 08-21-2007, 12:46 PM

Gehrig and Ruth
Gehrig and Dimaggio

I have to think about the others

**Loose Cannon** · 08-21-2007, 12:56 PM

Simmons and Foxx.

having trouble with the final one

**loopydate** · 08-25-2007, 02:07 AM

Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth
Jimmie Foxx and Al Simmons
Joe DiMaggio and Lou Gehrig
Ted Williams and Vern Stephens

**Supreme Olajuwon** · 08-25-2007, 12:35 PM

correct

you know when talking about greatest players of all time, Gehrig's name does not get brought up nearly enough

**Supreme Olajuwon** · 08-25-2007, 12:46 PM

Name the only person in baseball history to have 3 straight seasons of hitting 40 or more homers and striking out 40 or less times.

**Supreme Olajuwon** · 08-25-2007, 12:47 PM

hint: he's not a hall of famer

**Loose Cannon** · 08-25-2007, 03:49 PM

Ted Kluzewski (sp)

**OssMan** · 08-26-2007, 01:26 AM

Name one player post-1900 who has driven in over 100 runs and hit less than 10 home runs.

Note: Sam Thompson and Cap Anson did it, but this was before 1900 so those are not one the answers.

Hint: At least 3 people have done it

**Loose Cannon** · 08-26-2007, 05:16 PM

lol, you know those are dead ball era guys. let me think about it.

**Loose Cannon** · 08-26-2007, 05:18 PM

Wagner
Lajoie
Speaker

There's probably a ton more too.

**Loose Cannon** · 08-26-2007, 05:18 PM

oh, you said one.

**Loose Cannon** · 08-27-2007, 11:01 AM

k, I'll do one until Supreme comes back.

Most baseball fans know about the 1919 Sox scandal and all the players from that team that were banned because of it. But here's my question.

What other current (at that time) mlb player also recieved a lifetime ban from baseball along with the Sox players for being associated with the fix?
