Trivia - Name the colt that scored the biggest Derby upset ever

[Journeyman]

i am almost positive it's the Babe, lol.

 

[steaktartar]

he also struck out five hall of famers in a row in an allstar game.......he fanned all simmons joe cronin babe ruth lou gehrig and jimmy foxx.........legendary screwballer carl hubbel

 

[fucnluc]

yep, W-L :thumbsup: he had a very unique career, i did a post on him last year it was pretty interesting, he was not a typical knuckler and had some of the most odd stats....very unique baseball story.

W-L possibly but even so I don't think he'd be the only one.....the one I know is he's the only guy to save at least 20 games for a team one year, and then the next year win more than 20

journey I expect this one quick off the top of your head since it's easy

who's the only player to end their career with exactly 3000 hits

Clemente but some records suggest there was another one, I think Cap Anson but there are two sets of records for him.

Nice, quick and with a rebuttal. Baseball guru.

Clemente

Who is the only player to lead the majors in batting average but not lead either league?

Only guy to lead the majors in HRs but not lead either league (this one is easy)?

Who is the only player to win an MVP and never appear in an all star game (obviously all star game era)?

 

[fucnluc]

How about the only player to reach base on 16 straight plate appearances?

 

[Journeyman]

That is Eddie Murray

 

[Journeyman]

Okay I have to do a few sets right in the middle of lifting, I know Eddie Murray did this, he was traded while leading the NL back to the AL, he was nipped by Willie McGee but led all of baseball....back later.

Was this last year? Justin Morneau?

I think someone broke Ted Williams record not sure if its still him or it was broken, i believe someone broke this in recent years.

As of the end of the 2006 season, name the feat that has been accomplished twenty-nine times in the National League, and eleven times in the American league by a pitcher. (pretty sure it hasn't happened in 07).

 

[fucnluc]

It has to be Justin Morneau I don't remember him making any all star teams

grand slam by a pitcher???

Just off the top of my head that came to mind....I know both Cuellar and McNally hit post season grand slams for the Orioles in the early 70's

 

[fucnluc]

That's a good guess Jman, I think Zambrano had one last year

 

[fucnluc]

Also Ted Williams was who I was thinking of. If it has been broken sorry for the misinformation.

McGwire when he left the A's?

the other answer was Murray as I said earlier.
