Herb Score.
A guy named Hugh Daily was close in 1884. He pitched 500 2/3 innings and struck out 483 batters.

MLB trivia:
Most wins by pitcher without ever playing in an All-Star game (in the All-Star era)?
Most HRs by a player without ever playing in an All-Star game (in the All-Star era)?
Since 1901, which pitcher has the most starts with no career relief appearances?
Most plate appearances in a season without a walk or a hit by pitch?

Thomas Hicks won the 1904 Olympic marathon in a time of 3:28:53. What measures did he take that would be illegal today? Hicks was not the first runner to arrive at the finish line. Why was Fred Lorz (winner of the 1905 Boston marathon) disqualified? You will notice that the time of the marathon was in the range of what a reasonably fit amateur can do right now. In addition, only 14 of the 32 entrants finished. Why?

RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 04-15-2021
Pitcher, no All Star....Virgil Trucks, Jerry Koosman, Danny Darwin, Jamie Moyer, Bartolo Colon?
Hard enough but the others are harder.
Fred Lorz caught a trolley. Thomas Hicks blood doped, snuffed a line, cut corners.
RE: Sports trivia thread - BostonCard - 04-15-2021
Close. Lorz got into a car after cramping at the 9 mile mark, but the car broke down 2 miles from the finish line, so he jogged the last two mile.
Hicks was given strychnine and brandy on the course, and was carried over the finish line by his trainers.

BC, is Rosie Ruiz related to Lorz?
RE: Sports trivia thread - Mick - 04-15-2021
Most wins by pitcher without ever playing in an All-Star game (in the All-Star era)? Mike Torrez, 185 wins
Most HRs by a player without ever playing in an All-Star game (in the All-Star era)? Tim Salmon, 299 home runs. Next most is Bellarmine's Pat "The Bat" Burrell with 292 home runs, no all star games. Salmon had 30+ HRs five times, but no all star appearances.
Since 1901, which pitcher has the most starts with no career relief appearances? Tom Glavine, 682 starts, no relief appearances. Two Cy Youngs, led the league in losses in 1988, then won 20+ five times, leading the league in wins every time. 305 overall wins.
Most plate appearances in a season without a walk or a hit by pitch? Cy Young, 149 plate appearances with no walks or hit by pitch for the 1904 Boston Red Sox

Great questions Mick.
RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 04-16-2021
Where did the MLB LA angels play before the Anaheim stadium was built ? The correct name please
RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 04-16-2021
Dodger Stadium for one. I saw Gene Conley of the Red Sox beat the Angels in '62 or '63. Did they play first at Wrigley Field or Gilmore field?

Mostly yes except the Angels called it Chavez Ravine Stadium
RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 04-17-2021
LAPD SWAT responded to the Ravine with dozers primed to level the lot. Two families wouldn't move...or so the story goes. When we entered the stadium it said "Dodger." Chavez Ravine my azz. Still a very nice place to watch a game and by the seventh inning you had plenty of room.
RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 04-17-2021
Saw a no hitter there. Against the Dodgers. Thrilled
RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 04-19-2021
Who were the three future Hall of Famers selected in the first MLB draft in 1965 and in what order were they inducted into the Hall?
RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 04-19-2021
Well Rick Monday was first. Got to think
Adding to non Hall of Famers Al Gallagher first for the Giants.
Ftom Fremont of SUnnyvale Jestadt and Harrington
RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 04-19-2021
Also Dirty Al the first San Francisco home grown product to make the big club. Great teammate in semi pro, with three on field brawls in our summer together all instigated by Gallagher.
Hint: two pitchers, one position player.
RE: Sports trivia thread - BostonCard - 04-19-2021
Pitchers: Nolan Ryan and Tom Seaver
Position player: Johny Bench
