Phogge check out Elmer Valo
The same question Giants answered change to just one no hitter. There are two to add??
Jim Palmer? I think Seaver only won one championship. I know he tossed only one no hitter. So, no Seaver. I am out of guesses.
RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 07-20-2021
Palmer yes
Bob Gibson is the 4th

Technically he can't be the first Giant to have his number retired since he had no number, no? :)

Wally Moon.
RE: Sports trivia thread - DC 86 - 07-21-2021
Who is the only MVP who was never an all-star?
Who are the only three Cy Young award winners who were never all-stars?
RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 07-22-2021
First hit in the Coliseum... Jim Davenport. First batter too.
What Dodger hurt his arm trying to throw a ball from the field over the top of the Coliseum?
DC, sorry to be a nerd (like another trivia buff) but Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker, Walter Johnson and others were MVP's before the All Star game was organized by Arch Ward.
I assume the question means since the AS game era.
Rogers Hornsby? Willie Hernandez?

Yes I should have been more specific, but I meant the league MVP awards as voted on by the BBWAA, which started in 1931. I was not considering winners of previous incarnations such as the Chalmers awards and the league awards for "all-around service to his club".
Not Hornsby since his last MVPs were prior to the BBWAA era. Hernandez was a three-time all-star.

Maybe Duke Snider a HS QB
Hurt arm. Duke Snider? He was a HS QB
