RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Mick - 12-11-2022
A few years before the introduction of the "live" baseball, there were two pitchers who hit so well that they transitioned into full time hitter/fielders. Their 1918 hitting statistics (batting average, total bases, RBIs) were virtually identical. One was Babe Ruth. Who was the other? Hint: at one time, he had been a teammate of Ruth's.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 12-11-2022
No idea on 1918 but later Stan Musial while in the minors and lefty O’Doul
Edit actually about 1919 it could be O’Doul
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 12-11-2022
It is O'Doul.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Mick - 12-12-2022
It was Smoky Joe Wood. Terrific pitcher, career 117-57, played with Ruth on the Red Sox in 1914 and 1915.
In 1918, Wood was playing for Cleveland and it was Wood's first full season as a batter. He equaled Ruth in batting average (.296/.300), RBIs (66/61), total bases (176/170) and runs scored (41/50).
