Yadier Molina won nine GGs. Bengie Molina won two, both with the Angels pre-SF Giants. Haller never won it, and his best years actually came with the Dodgers. Santiago won three Gold Gloves, all with the Padres pre-SF Giants.
The Giants' catchers who won a Gold Glove include Posey (2016); Mike Matheny who won three in a row, the first two with the Cardinals, the last with the Giants in 2005; and Kirt Manwaring (1993). Manwaring was an excellent defensive catcher. He threw out 42% (or more) of stolen base attempts in five seasons, leading the league twice in 1992 (51%) and 1993 (46%). By comparison, Buster's best season was 38%.
RE: OT: SF Giants Trivia - Phogge - 01-18-2021
Haller and Bailey in 1962 were one of the most potent catching duos of all time. Not known for defense.
Bailey was one of the sluggers on the 56 Reds when they tied the record for team homers. What team set it first? What teammate was one of the first African American members of the Seals?
RE: OT: SF Giants Trivia - BobK - 01-18-2021
Bob Thurman Seals and Reds
1947 NY Giants had the previous record led by Johnny Mize
RE: OT: SF Giants Trivia - Phogge - 01-18-2021
Good work Bobbbbb. And remember Thurman was not the first.

Roger Craig...I think this is the only time I've ever seen two managers go at it, Roger Craig and Whitey Herzog....

And the long version. Willie McGee, pre-Giants, Krukow in tussle.

IIRC, Krukow hurt his shoulder in that fracas.
MLB Trivia - Mick - 01-19-2021
Which regular starting pitcher won his league's ERA title with the fewest wins over the course of a season? The worst winning percentage?
RE: MLB Trivia - slide - 01-20-2021
Nolan Ryan?
lex24 - lex24 - 01-20-2021
Felix Hernandez.
RE: MLB Trivia - BobK - 01-20-2021
This took hours to think but I do think Gaylord Perry with the worst winning %
Well if last season counts it’s whoever won but I don’t recall who
lex24 - lex24 - 01-20-2021
I assumed last season didn’t count.
RE: MLB Trivia - BostonCard - 01-20-2021
Your 2020 wins co-leaders were Shane Bieber and Yu Darvish with 8.
Bieber was the ERA leader at 1.63, so if last season counted, I'm fairly sure Bieber would have won with 8.
1994 was another shortened season (due to the strike). Greg Maddux was the ERA leader that year (1.56). He went 16-6 that year.
I wouldn't be surprised if the winner had an injury-shortened season. To qualify for the ERA title, the pitcher would have to pitch at least 1 inning for each of its team's game (so, typically 162 innings), which a player could reach in <30 starts.

While we wait what Hall of Famer has spent the most Time alive as a Hall of Famer ?
RE: MLB Trivia - BostonCard - 01-20-2021
Going to guess Koufax who was the youngest person elected to the HoF (except for Lou Gehrig for whom there were extenuating circumstances). He got in in 1972, so he's at 48 years and counting.
Koufax is one of five pitchers to have more strikeouts than innings pitched. Who are the other four?

RE: MLB Trivia - BobK - 01-20-2021
Yes Koufax. He just popped on on my tweeter feed
More Ks than innings
Ryan
Carlton
Gossage
Rivera
Duren

Yes on Ryan. No on Rivera or Gossage, but another notable reliever is on the list. No on Carlton or Duren.
