RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - terry - 05-10-2023

Which three teams have won the most National League pennants (1876 to present)? Name the top three in order.

I'm counting the total number of championships won by each franchise at all locations and under all names.

We have a winner! Those are the three teams that have won the most National League championships (1876 to present) --

24 Dodgers

21 Dodgers
20 Giants
19 Cardinals

Backup guess: Pete Rose, Barry Bonds, Shoeless Joe Jackson

Oh right, I forgot. Not in the Hall of Fame.

Casey Schmitt trivia:

1) Only two MLB players in history have had at least eight hits, 4 RBI and 4 runs scored over their first three career games. One is Casey Schmitt. Who is the other?

2) Casey's throw from SS to 1B yesterday measured at 92.7 mph, second fastest in the majors this year. Who threw .1 mph faster?

3) Casey homered twice in his first three games. Four other Giants since 1901 have homered twice in their first three games. Who are they?

4) Only one Giant other than Schmitt had at least eight hits in his first three games. Which Giant?

Bonus question: who is the only MLB player with at least 2,500 hits, a .300 batting average and 200 home runs and is NOT in the Hall of Fame?

1. Joe DiMaggio (I read an article this morning that referenced this feat).
2. O’Neil Cruz (?).  Last year, Cruz exceeded 100 mph on a throw to first.
3. Will Clark?  
4. Willie Mac?

Two pitchers did it three times in the 1990s.

One pitcher in the 1970s.
One pitcher did it three times in the 1960s. Yes, it's the pitcher you're probably thinking of.
