Good one Bobbbbb. There are other SS combinations. Keep guessing. I'm going off the grid for awhile.

Pee Wee Reese (Brooklyn Dodgers) and Phil Rizzuto (NY Yankees) too many times -- 1941, '47, ''49, '52, '53, '55. I think.

So Aron Judge has been in the news lately. Aside from being the second American Leaguer with 61 home runs, he’s now the third MLB player to have: 130 Runs, 130 RBI, 105 BB, 15 SB in a single season. Who were the other two (one did it twice)

I'll go with Travis Jackson of the Giants (the Brandon Crawford of his day) and Joe Cronin of the Washington Senators (and the Sacred Heart Prep Fighting Irish in SF) in 1933 World Series.
Cronin inducted in 1956, Jackson inducted in 1982.

In the history of the NBA, there have been just two players who:
1) took at least 14 field goal attempts per game, and
2) made less than 25% of those field goal attempts
3) for at least three
playoff games in a row.
One was Paul George of the 2020 Clippers. Who was the other?

Babe Ruth did it twice. Who was the other player? Like Judge and Ruth, also a Yankee.

Phogge is right. Pretty good company for Judge, I would think.

Mike Frank in 1997. Frank had a big league arm, but not much else. A good AAA player. The Broncos' best outfielder ever, Randy Winn, never made an AA team of any sort, but he was a 13 year major leaguer who made an All Star team. Winn made All-WCC. Frank was a 7th round pick, Winn was a 3rd round pick.
Winn and Frank were on the SCU teams that went to three NCAAs in four years, ending in 1997. Since then, nothing.

Who is the first player to hit 40 HRs in each league ?

I’m not sure I know the answer to this one, but name a player with 30 HR in both a MLB and Nippon Professional Baseball league season.

Two long misery streaks have ended, one earlier this week when the Mariners finally made the MLB playoffs and the other this morning when Kansas was ranked in the AP college football poll.
Questions…
In the four major North American professional sports, which team now has the longest “playoff-less” streak?
In college football, which P5 school now has the longest absence from the AP college football poll?
