Finally, two questions:

What is the color of the boathouse in Hereford?

And... What's in the case?

St Mary’s Herman Wedemeyer

Silky thinking college then worried John Henry Johnson who I think started at at Mary’s Then ASU

RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 03-21-2022

JHJ bingo.

And also on Hawai’i 5.0 was Tausau Al Harrington Stanford RB who missed a conversion in the ‘57 Oregon game and probably cost the Tribe the Rose Bowl.

Hint: Santa Clara player was an end who transferred to a PCC school.

Hint: The two CSM players later became coaches.

John Madden.
Harrington missed two extra points. Rose bowl possible until then

Not in the Hall.

In honor of the implementation of the universal designated hitter:

Who finished his career with 44 hits in 662 at bats, an .066 average, lowest in MLB history (minimum: 300 plate appearances).

He struck out 420 times in those 662 at bats.

Hint: Cy Young award winner.

RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 03-22-2022

Randy Johnson

RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 03-23-2022

Sandy Koufax

---

RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Mick - 03-23-2022

Wes Ferrell

---

RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - DC 86 - 03-23-2022

Very good guesses but not nearly as bad as our guy:

Randy Johnson .125 for his career (296 K in 625 AB)
Sandy Koufax .097 for his career (386 K in 776 AB)

I think Mick was kidding, Wes Ferrell was one of the best hitting pitchers ever, .280/.351/.446 career line (.797 OPS).

Besides hitting .066 and striking out in 63% of his at bats, our guy only had two extra base hits in his career (both doubles). Randy Johnson hit one home run and 14 doubles, Sandy Koufax hit two home runs and nine doubles.

Hint: pitched most of his career (and won his Cy Young) for a team in California.

Tim and Zito close but not enough at bats.
Thank goodness for the DH
