Need more trivia Posting so people find this
RE: Sports trivia thread - Papa John - 03-30-2021
Don't know if this one has been asked before, BobK, but here's my trivia question:
Name the three San Francisco Giants who have pitched immaculate innings.
(For the uninitiated, an immaculate inning occurs when a pitcher strikes out the side using only nine pitches.)
RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 03-30-2021
Wow good one but just guesses
Brian Wilson
Juan Marichal
Rob Nen
RE: Sports trivia thread - Papa John - 03-30-2021
Nope on all three, BobK. There are two starters and one reliever.
RE: Sports trivia thread - BostonCard - 03-30-2021
Romo? Wilson?
Trying to guess the reliever.
BC
RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 03-30-2021
Romo
Timmy
Sam Jones
RE: Sports trivia thread - Papa John - 03-30-2021
No to all guesses so far.
Another hint: each of the three SF Giants pitchers in question also played for one other MLB team in California. But none of them played for the same non-Giants Cali team.
I may have made it too easy, but maybe not.
RE: Sports trivia thread - BostonCard - 03-30-2021
Hershiser?

RE: Sports trivia thread - Papa John - 03-30-2021
Yes on Hershiser!

Leaves two out of a pitcher that's also been with the Padres, A's and Angels. I can't think of any.

RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 03-30-2021
Davis who later won the cy young with the Padres.
But someone who pitched for a number of California teams?
RE: Sports trivia thread - BostonCard - 03-30-2021
I looked it up, and I would have never guessed them. Interesting bit of trivia, the Giants have been on the receiving end of an immaculate inning four times; three of them were in 1979!
BC
RE: Sports trivia thread - Papa John - 03-30-2021
No on Blue. No on Ortiz.
The remaining starter was caught by Kirt Manwaring during the immaculate inning. The reliever (immaculate save) was caught by Buster Posey.
Each remaining pitcher played for either the A's, Angels or Padres. Not all three of them (or even two).
BC, you just stole my next trivia question, but I forgive you.

Feel free to ask who the three pitchers who "immaculated" the Giants in 1979 were. Hint, they were playing for the Reds, Cubs, and Braves.

RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 03-30-2021
Jeremy Affeldt. Nope not him
RE: Sports trivia thread - Papa John - 03-30-2021
Not Affeldt. The remaining starter pitched his immaculate inning during the ninth inning of a 5-2 win over the Astros on June 7, 1992. It was that pitcher's only complete game shut out in 1992.
The reliever pitched his immaculate save inning on May 17, 2015 in a 9–8 win at the Reds.
RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 03-30-2021
John Burkett
Javier Lopez
RE: Sports trivia thread - Papa John - 03-30-2021
According to mlb.com, there have been 101 recorded immaculate innings in MLB history. There were probably some that were missed because the stat was first recognized twenty years ago or so.
For a recent, more reliable perspective: since 2010, there have been 38 recorded immaculate innings in MLB, 5 perfect games, 42 no-hitters, and 39 times a pitcher has struck out 4 batters in an inning.
No on Burkett. No on Lopez.
The remaining starter also pitched for the Angels. The reliever also pitched for the A's.
