You got it, Bob.  In 1978, Knepper had six.


RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 04-30-2021

Knepper from Napa Valley iirc

Yep.  Calistoga HS

Knepper had an interesting career.  Led the league in shutouts twice, HBP once.  Led the league in losses (17) in 1987, but went 14-5 the next year and made the all-star team for the Astros.  

Quick trivia question: Name two pitchers who led the league in losses and made the all star team that year.


RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 05-02-2021

Early Wynn
Phil Neiko

In 2004 Barry Bonds hit 45 homers and struck out 39 times. He was the first hitter to accomplish the feat since a 1955 Star. Who?

In the middle Fifties two MLB clubs introduced a sleeveless uni top. What clubs?

What is the rule re uniform under shirt (what we called “sleeves” back in the day) for pitchers?


RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 05-02-2021

Cincy Reds were one sleeveless with Big Klu
I think sleeves couldn’t be white.

More
This player had the last hit for the Dodgers at Ebbets Field the first for the Dodgers in LA and the first at Dodger stadium


RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 05-02-2021

Correct on the Reds but you didn’t mention the other team.

No part of the undershirt can be white.


RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 05-02-2021

I only recall Klu


RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 05-02-2021

The Pirates. Our Gator unis were a copy.

Correct on Klu...1955.

Charlie Neal?


RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 05-02-2021

Good one but no


RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 05-03-2021

Gilliam? Campy? Don Hoak? The Reading Rifle?

Two outstanding players on the '27 Yankees were afflicted with maladies which they overcame. Name them and their medical problems. Not the Bambino.


RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 05-03-2021

Not any dodger named but a hint. Then he played with the Giants

Gehrig for one LOL


RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 05-03-2021

Either the Duke or Joe Pignatano. Maglie had played for the Giants before.

Nobody knew Lou Gehrig was sick until 1938 or '39. Who was sick in '27?


RE: Sports trivia thread - BostonCard - 05-03-2021

Eddie Kasko had the first hit at Dodger stadium, but he played for the Reds.

RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 05-03-2021

It was the Duke. Duke Snider

Eddie Kasko wore glasses. He was an infielder. Who was the first MLB catcher to wear glasses


RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 05-03-2021

Clint Courtney.


RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 05-03-2021

Clint is the answer.
