I won 2 shirts from Wil's baseball thread yesterday... I only need one so im giving 1 of those away and Wil was nice enough to donate another so i have 2 to give away.... will ask 2 different questions... if you win the first please dont post the 2nd answer... looking to get 2 different winners

going to use wil's rules...

The Rx.com has some polo shirts with our logo on them we would like to give away to posters. They are white with a blue, red and black embroided logo and blue trim on the collar. Sizes available are Large, Xlarge and XXlarge only. The only restriction is we can only ship them to addresses in the US and Canada...

Rules:

1. One guess per question per poster unless I provide a clue then posters that have quessed wrong prior to the posting of the clue may guess again and again after every clue until the question is answered or called too difficult, in which case I will post another question and everyone starts from scratch again.

2. Winning answers must be judged "close enough" by me. For example a mispelled name that is obviously a particular player will be considered a winner if it is apparent who the player is. Eg. Joe Dimagio is obviously Joe DiMaggio. I will use plain common sense to interpet more complicated answers and will give the benefit of the doubt to the poster whenever possible. All calls of "We have a Winner" are final.

3. The first poster to answer the question correctly wins in the event of two or more posters answering correctly in a brief period of time.

4. Remember these are very nice shirts but they are still just shirts. Should I rule in favor of one poster over another with a similar answer there will be an opportunity to win the next question. I will try to be as fair as possible.

5. Winners will have to supply wil a shipping address that I will keep confidential. Allow at least two weeks for delivery by US Priority Mail.

6. Unforseen events that arise during the course of the trivia contests will be ruled on by myself and at least two other moderators, our decision will be final.

7. Posters on post review are not eligible to participate because of time constraints.

8. These questions will be fairly difficult but I have no way to prevent interested posters from using any means available to find the answers. In other words you can use the internet in anyway you want to find answers.


9. Many of you who took shirts home from the recent Rx Bash 2008 can vouche for them, they are very nice shirts. Everyone can play with a maximum of one win retiring a poster from further competition.

10. Try to make your answers as consise as possible. I will only post "We have a Winner" and not no to every wrong answer. I will try to answer your questions about the contest if you post them in this thread.
.

sizes that wil has... L... XL AND XXL

shipping address must be in the US or Canada

Wil if any changes need to be made to this let me know... once a winning answer is giving ill give the same instructions you gave me when i won about the email...

First question will be posted at 4:00 EST tonight

Thanks to Wil to making this possible....

Question #1

Going into today Derek Jeter had 2,501 hits.... What pitcher does he have the most hits off of... How many hits is it? What team was that pitcher drafted by and how many career wins does he have?

Nice call. I knew it had to be a Red Sox and Wakefield made sense because he has been there forever. He faced DJ 96 times while giving up 30 hits, a large majority were the 24 singles he yielded (3 HRs - 2 Doubles and a triple). They fought some real duels over the years. Jeter walked 5 times and struckout 15 times over the years vs the knucklballer that Boston is really missing right now.

Interesting side info to this question.

The pitcher who DJ faced the most against after Wakefield is Pedro Martinez.
DJ has 22 hits in 99 plate appearances against Pedro with 3 homers, 3 doubles and 16 singles, 11 walks and 22 wiffs.

Once by Pedro, John Lackey, never bashful has plunked DJ 4 times in 50 plate appearances. I use plate appearances because it includes walks, sacrifices and reached on errors along with regular categories like base hits or ground outs etc.

Pedro hit Giambi and now teamate Carlos Delgado 3 times each over the years. Retired line drive hitter Luis Gonzales hit .370 lifetime against Pedro in 54 plate appearances and got drilled twice for his troubles.
