RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 10-25-2022
And then did he help the Sonics leave? Not a great hoops city.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 10-25-2022
The late Dick Berg was back in the Bay area by then.
No not involved by then
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 10-25-2022
Was a joke son.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 10-25-2022
Thank you Dad

Didn't get a lot of great ballers coming out of Seattle. All the best local Seattle talent were sixth-man types (Nate Robinson, Jamal Crawford), substitute guards (Jason Terry), career "What-ifs" (Brandon Roy), or career defenders (Doug Christie).

I would add Zach Lavine.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 10-26-2022
Don't remember Lavine doing much at UCLA. I guess he's good now but I only follow the Grizz.

Like many footballers and basketball players, he is a better pro than a college player.

If the World Series ever finally does get started, it appears that Justin Verlander will be the starting pitcher for the 12th time in a post-season series Game 1. This will tie him with one other pitcher. Who is that?

Bumgarner?
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 10-27-2022
The records favor recent pitchers.
The only records that really matter are WS records. Call me an old Phoggie but then ask me if IGAS.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 10-27-2022
Kershaw

I cracked the code - Phogge is related to Whitey Ford. :)
Seriously, I agree with you 100%.

Shared the palm ball changeup with Whitey. Amazing how he did what he did carousing for years with #1, #7 and Hank Bauer.
Seriously, I agree with you 100%.

Not Mad Bum.
Kershaw has 11 post-season starts.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BostonCard - 10-27-2022
Jon Lester
Bumgarner does have one impressive postseason record, which he set in 2014; anyone know what it is?
BC

Bumgarner pitched a lot in that postseason witn the wild card game and his relief appearance in Game 7 of the World Series - so maybe most innings or most strikeouts?
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BostonCard - 10-28-2022
Correct; most innings pitched in a single post-season.
The World Series will feature no American born Black players. When was the last time that happened?
BC
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 10-28-2022
First year was first year possible 1947
Also Cleveland with Larry Doby 1948

But a lot of Latinos. I could care less what color a player is. It's just CAN HE PLAY. I play golf on Wednesdays with three black guys among our 16. They are just GUYS. Fantastic guys. They laugh, swear, fart just like me.
MLB needs to financially support baseball at the lowest levels. Not "Look at what we do" lip service but support with proactive aid in diamond building and upkeep, massive equipment subsidies and promotion of the sport at the lowest levels of income and opportunity in ALL communities.
I shot 25 WS for MLB. You can't even begin to know how massively MLB has its head up its kazoo until you are inside the system.
