RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 12-17-2022
I guessed Kilmer or somebody else weeks ago.
Need hints on the fumble?

There have been 339 "cycles" hit in MLB history. Only 14 were by catchers. Two questions:
Who is the only catcher to have hit for two cycles?
Who was the oldest catcher to hit for the cycle?
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 12-17-2022
Fisk and Kendall
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 12-17-2022
Jack Tatum broke the record of George Halas.
Catcher cycles: Eddie Sadowski and Ray Ortieg. LOL.

Hints: Oldest catcher to hit for the cycle was in the Giants organization at one time. He hit for the cycle his last year in the bigs, age 35. Both his double and his triple clanked off the gloves of Boston Red Sox outfielders...and he was also the last catcher to hit for the cycle.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 12-17-2022
Two cycle catchers:
-Berra, Bench, Mickey Cochrane?
Oldest catcher and a Giant:
- Haller, Bailey, Randy Hundley

I ended up looking it up. Man, I loved Villapiano, Atkinson, and Tatum.

Pretty good game. The Dodgers had five hall of famers on the field in the game: Jackie Robinson, Duke Snider, Pee Wee Reese, Gil Hodges and Roy Campanella. So Larsen threw very well in his perfect game.
Why might his perfect game day have been less than completely perfect for Mr. Larsen?

Because Mrs. Larsen served him with divorce papers the morning of his WS perfect game.
