Baseball trivia - Phogge - 06-06-2020
Who is the first MLB player born in the 21st Century?
Who is the last player (now retired) who played in the 1990's?
RE: Baseball trivia - BobK - 06-06-2020
Julio Franco played in the 90s. So my guess
Who was the oldest player to lead a league in HRs ?

Wasn't Bonds. He only led the league once or twice. And only hit fifty or more HRs once.
RE: Baseball trivia - BobK - 06-06-2020
My first guess was Bonds but needed this hint it’s a former Giant
RE: Baseball trivia - Phogge - 06-06-2020
Willie Mays.
Hint: Last 90’s player was a pitcher.
RE: Baseball trivia - Phogge - 06-06-2020
Hint: 21st Century player also a pitcher, American League.

Bartolo Colon.

Yessir. Now get the young guy. Hitting the rack. Will let you know tomorrow.
RE: Baseball trivia - BobK - 06-06-2020
No not Mays
Come on oldest to win a HR title ?

Dave Kingman?
Scratch Kingman. Darrell Evans. Who probably hit more foul HRs than anyone in history. Tremendously underrated player. Did it with Detroit, I think.
Speaking of baseball, if there is no season because of concerns either from the players or just in general about coronavirus that’s fine. But it looks more and more like there won’t be any season because of a labor dispute. And that is simply absurd. The NBA figured something out. It is run so much better than MLB.

Agree with Lex, Darrell Evans?
RE: Baseball trivia - Phogge - 06-07-2020
Darell Evans was 38. Johnny Mize next at 35.

Not sure, but I think Evans still has the team record for the Tigers.

Howdy Dowdy is correct. Phogge why was that Evan ‘s nickname. No I have no clue
RE: Baseball trivia - Phogge - 06-07-2020
According to SABR when he was a young Brave he resembled Howdy Doody. Ted Turner liked nicknames and he once had the players nicknames stitched to the back of their jersey instead of their last names.
Two things from the article... Eddie Matthews spent hours hitting Evans grounders and spent a lot of time talking to him. Evans credits his greatly improved fielding to the Hall of Fame.
Evans and his wife saw a UFO in 1982 and led to the couple's belief in extraterrestrials and in a higher Power.
Bill James calls him the most underrated player in MLB history. I vote for Wally Berger.

First player born in the 2000's... Elvis Luciano of the Blue Jays.

Great name. Hadn’t heard of him
RE: Baseball trivia - Phogge - 06-07-2020
His off season gig is singing and gyrating with Santana.
RE: Baseball trivia - BostonCard - 06-07-2020
He gyrates his hips to opera.
