That Phogge is good

RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 05-21-2021

Andrew Luck twice finished second in the Heesman Trophy voting. What other Stanford QB's finished in the top ten Heesman balloting twice?

---

RE: Sports trivia thread - Papa John - 05-21-2021

The obvious choice would be John Elway, so it can't be him. Steve Stenstrom?

---

RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 05-21-2021

No on Stenstrom. Elway had a second place finish in 1982 but no other top tens.

In that case, I'm going to guess that it was before my Stanford time, which started in 1980. I'm assuming the QB--or is it QBs?--would have been drafted by the NFL, and of all the recent Stanford QBs who were selected in the draft after Elway--Edwards, Husak, Hogan, etc.--I don't remember any of them getting much H-man buzz.

But I'll be really embarrassed if I'm wrong.

There were two before your time. Bobbbb is running a Masters 3000m steeplechase today so I will give him time to respond.

Plunkett eighth in 1969, winner in '70.

Frankie Albert 4th in 1940, third in '41.

There have been 12 double play combos in the Hall of Fame. Name them.

---

RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 05-21-2021

Tinker to Evers
Trammel to Whitaker
Per wee to Jackie

---

Boudreaux to Joe Gordon
Ripken to Alamar

---

Marion to Schoendienst

---

RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 05-21-2021

Correct:
Tinker/Evers
Pee Wee/Jackie
Gordon/Boudreau
Alomar/Ripkin

Marion and Whitaker not in Hall. I miscounted, there are 14 combos, some obscure but so are you Bobbbbbbbb and me too.

Gosh, one I could have guessed. I'm not much of a baseball fan, but I'm from Milwaukee and the right age to remember both of them right from when they first came into the league.

Hornsby and...

Since Frank Chance is also in the HoF, I wonder how many others among the above pairs finished the DP with a hall of fame first baseman.  I don’t know the answer…
