Ok Back to the 51 Giants
Wes Westrum was the catcher in 51 and the Giants manager in the 70s
Don Mueller slid into third abd broke his ankle thus a pitch runner

Again who was the winning pitcher ?


RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 02-28-2023

More from you know who

On May 4, 1928 a record 13 Hall of Famers appeared in a game between the A’s and Yankees. Name them.
Also who were the two Hall of Fame managers who led their clubs that day?

Off the top of my head, I would say Foxx, Cobb, Simmons, Cronin, Grove, Ruth, Gehrig, Meusel, Hoyt, Collins, Appling, Lazzeri, Dugan.

Managers were probably McCarthy and MacGillicuddy

You have quite the head top. . . .


RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 02-28-2023

Managers yes Connie Mack. Lol
No on the Yankee manager

9 right not Meusel or Dugan they aren’t in the Hall of Fame
No on Cronin or Appling.

Leaves 4 players one manager


RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - cardcrimson - 02-28-2023

Hey, if I recall correctly, the A's played the Tigers on Star Wars day (May 4th), 1928. I think the Yankees played the White Sox.

I bet myself that I couldn't name the 13 hall of famers if I looked at the box score of the game. Kind of fun that box scores are available that far back. . . .


RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 02-28-2023

Tris Tris not Dickey but yes a catcher

Well Phogge it was the Yankees white Sox May 4 1928

A's vs Yanks on May24 - and the box score includes the 11 HoF players that have been identified so far + 2 more. I feel like I should have gotten 1 of the missing 2 - and I knew of the other, but never would have come up with him.  And I definitely should have gotten the Yankees manager.


RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 02-28-2023

Thanks skip. Yes 24 is the correct date

Earle Combs hard to get one more who became a famous manager
Plus the Yankee Manager
