The Santa Clara flash, Alyn Beals. Also UCLA...BTW, 49er founder Morabito was an SCU grad, too...
Interesting team, that first 49er team. Lots of west coast players. 4 Stanford Indians, 3 WSU Cougars, 2 Trojans, 7 Broncos, one each from St. Mary's, USF, SJSU, Oregon State, and UCLA.

Mr Norberg was such a kindly guy. I did have the impression he might have taken one too many noggin hits.
Sadly he passed at the age of 53.

Career assists. The Babe

Career assists has to be Speaker. Played very shallow and is the career leader in outfielder unassisted double plays.

The only one on the Career list top 50 who played after 1950 is Clemente
Babe about # 44

Phogge - 11-25-2021
Just looked at OF assists. Yep, Speaker is first. Clemente tied for 17th, Ruth 48th, Aaron 51st.
Mays tops in PO. Speaker, Henderson, Max Carey, Cobb top five. Plenty of post 50’s players in top 50.

HOF ballot is rigged. Otherwise "Boo" would be a lock.

Bonds, Lincecum, Kent, all correct. Five more.
BTW, not sports trivia there are two actresses who have achieved an Oscar, an Emmy, a Grammy and a Tony and who have achieved individual Oscar, Emmy and Tony awards. Any idea who they are?

Rita Moreno was the first. Interesting that Spielberg is remaking West Side Story and he cast her in an older role.
