Is it someone named Farrell, or O'Farrell?

Drysdale or Spahn.
Which of these Hall of Fame pitchers have a career ERA under 3.00?
Fergie Jenkins
Greg Maddux
Lefty Grove
Babe Ruth
Dizzy Dean

Bob Feller
RE: Sports trivia thread -

You like Feller so much you included him twice? I don't think he's a sub-3 ERA though.
I would guess Ruth, Dean, and Hubbell. Pretty sure Maddux and Feller are nos. Not sure about Jenkins.

Ruth and Hubbell.

Four players have drawn more than 2000 walks in their careers. Who?

In the 1961 All Star game at Candlestick, who was called for a balk, because he was blown off the mound by a gust of wind?

Phogge - 04-28-2021
Stu Miller wasn’t blown off the mound... when in doubt print the legend.
Look above Mick... Ruth and Hubbell.
2,000 walks:
Bonds
Ruth
Rose
Williams
RE: Sports trivia thread -
BostonCard - 04-28-2021
Bonds, Ruth and Williams are correct. Rose has 1566. Missing one.
On Stu Miller:

I pitched in over 1150 games in MLB and finished 363 games in 19 seasons. I started just one game. Who am I?
RE: Sports trivia thread -
BostonCard - 04-28-2021
Jesse Orosoco? He holds the record for most appearances by a pitcher, but I think he played longer than 19 seasons.

RE: Sports trivia thread -
BobK - 04-28-2021
Jesse Orosco from a previous question of most games pitched ??
RE: Sports trivia thread -
BostonCard - 04-28-2021
Jesse Orosoco was my wrong answer for Phogge's question of who "pitched in over 1150 games in MLB and finished 363 games in 19 seasons. I started just one game."
It's the only other pitcher to have over 1150 appearances, but since I peaked, I won't say.
