Lolich was the 1968 MVP Boston Card
RE: Sports trivia thread - BostonCard - 08-18-2021
That was his only win, though. I'm looking for the last multiple winner: 1963 and 65.

Too easy now!

Sorry.
Koufax is the third answer for those without DC's amazing baseball trivia knowledge. I was just glad to be able to stump BobK for a bit, though he did get Reggie Jackson.

How old was Bob Feller when he set the single game record of 18 strikeouts?
Whose record of 17 did he tie when he was 17?

As has been documented numerous times over the years, the Hall is tough on catchers. Which raises the inevitable question in this part of the country - has Buster done enough to warrant HOF consideration or does he need another ring to solidify his candidacy?
I think he needs two more solid years and another world series after this one.
BTW, read an odd bit of trivia the other day, speaking of great players playing on # of WS champs: Babe Ruth "only" played on four WS champions with the Yankees, and were in the WS less than half of his 15 seasons. The Yanks were 4-3 in the WS during that time (wins over NYG, PIT, StL, CHI; losses to NYG(2x) and StL.
I would have thought Ruth's NYY WS wins would have been more. He played on three WS champions with the Red Sox out of 6 seasons, a far higher percentage.
Other odd Ruth trivia -- he pitched 323 innings in 1916 without giving up an HR. Even Cy Young gave up 0 HRs in just one season, and that was with about half the innings pitched. Walter Johnson did it in 1916 as well.
Does Greg Minton still own the live ball era streak of 269 innings without giving up an HR?
RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 08-19-2021
Feller was 20 or close
17Ks. Walter Johnson?
Who holds the record for most strikeouts in one game?
RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 08-19-2021
Feller was nineteen.
Not Walter Johnson.
RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 08-19-2021
Feller with 18 broke his own record. But if tied at 17 with another ??
RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 08-19-2021
Feller tied Dizzy Dean’s record.

Top seven MVP votes three times. Only led the league in hit-by-pitch three times, thrown out on stolen base attempts once and intentional base on balls once.
Freehan was only on the HOF ballot one year and received only two votes. I suspect he may receive further consideration at some point by the Veterans Committee.
Coincidentally Freehan died this morning, age 79; he suffered from Alzheimer's disease.

Tom Cheney with 21, though he did it in 16 innings. The record for most strikeouts in a 9 inning game is 20, which was done several times, most recently by Max Scherzer.

I think Clemens K'd 20 twice. I wish somebody K'd him. Made a shot of him running into the clubhouse runway in Oakland and going out of his way to shoulder blast a photog. P****.
In what Western was a man named Tom Cheney the villain?

Greg Minton Moon Man #2 on Giants. Kingman was first although his nickname was "Moonie."
Interesting story about Minton being pulled over by the CHP on Int.5. Not fit for young ears.

Boston Card wasn’t tricked by my trick question
RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 08-19-2021
True Grit.
Who played Cheney in the remake? What sports character did he play in an HBO movie?
RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 08-19-2021
The guy who was chased in no country for old men. Ahhh. Brolin.
RE: Sports trivia thread - Giants - 08-19-2021
Who holds the MLB record for most consecutive perfect innings pitched?
RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 08-19-2021
I screwed up Bobbbbbbbbb. Barry Pepper played the other villain Wild Ned Pepper. Pepper played Roger Maris in “61” the Billy Crystal directed film about Mantle and Maris.
