26 Olympic athletes ultimately became a member of the clergy. Which Stanford atheist student grew up exceedingly wealthy, became an Olympian, then a decade later founded an orphanage in impoverished Tijuana and became a Roman Catholic priest?
RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 07-13-2021
No on the rebounder
RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 07-13-2021
For the rebounder think ucla
RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 07-13-2021
Sven Nater. Willie Naulls.
RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 07-13-2021
Willie too old. Not Walt Torrance either lol
Sven Nater is correct
RE: Sports trivia thread - BostonCard - 07-13-2021

Belt? He has a long AB not long ago
RE: Sports trivia thread - BostonCard - 07-13-2021
Yup, 21 pitches. There’s been a 22 pitch PA in spring training, but Belt’s was the longest during a game that counted.

I watched the game. Incredible. Plus he refused to take the a third strike lol
RE: Sports trivia thread - BostonCard - 07-13-2021
Who has the known record for most pitches in an inning? (I say known because pitch counts at this granularity have only been kept since 1988).

Tony Ralphs, grandson of the founder of Ralphs supermarkets. Specialties were canoe and kayak. He was also an accomplished long distance swimmer. Eight years after the Olympics, he founded the orphanage.

Of course, there are no records of how many pitches batters saw in a single at bat prior to the modern era. I suspect guys like Willie Keeler saw a ton of pitches back in the day…..
RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 07-14-2021
Pitches in an inning? Bobby Bolin?
