New baseball trivia - Phogge - 05-16-2020

Who was the first player to hit for the cycle in both major leagues? What other unique record did he set?


RE: New baseball trivia - BobK - 05-16-2020

Ok a guess Ken Griffey Jr

Also he hit 200 or more HRs in both leagues

Name the 3 who hit three HRs in one game both leagues ?


RE: New baseball trivia - Phogge - 05-16-2020

Frank Robinson, Babe Ruth, Orlando Cepeda.

Griffey is incorrect. Try again Bobbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb.


RE: New baseball trivia - BobK - 05-16-2020

Babe is one, 2 to go.

Name a former Stanford player who hit 3 HRs in a MLB game? Also what Stanford track event, real track and Field Phogge, did his wife run?

Reggie Jackson?


RE: New baseball trivia - BobK - 05-16-2020

The Babe and Jackson makes two.

How do I remember this and maybe I don’t but 361 HRs in his career


RE: New baseball trivia - Phogge - 05-16-2020

The Stanford player has to be Carlos Quentin. Spouse? Kim Schurpheil? Carol Cady?

The three homer guys? Johnnie Mize? Mark McGwier? Ben Oglivie? Manny Rameriz?

Still waiting on the cycle guy. Hint: later an executive.

Reggie Jackson never played in the National League.


RE: New baseball trivia - BobK - 05-16-2020

Bob Watson the cycle ?

Johnny Mize is the 3rd

Yes Carlos Quintin.

Goff was an All American Steeplechaser


RE: New baseball trivia - Phogge - 05-16-2020

Watson is correct. Also scored (1975) the Tootsie Roll one millionth run in MLB. I shot a commercial for Tootsie at the end of the '74 World Series with Joe D who was a pain in the butt.

So Bobbbb, Ruth and Mize. Who was the third. Wasn't Jackson because he never played in the NL.


RE: New baseball trivia - BobK - 05-16-2020

Oh oh I screwed up. You are right just two not Jackson.

Watson just died so I guessed


RE: New baseball trivia - Phogge - 05-16-2020

Whenever we have our next lunch I'll tell you what it was like being with Joe D for a couple of hours. Ernie Banks and Ralph Branca there too and they were fabulous.

Early 80's at an old-timers game. I'm shooting for TWIb. Johnny Mize steps into the cage and just annihilates the ball. brobdingnagian guy, big arms, brobdingnagian smile. That was impressive. Must have been in his 70's.


RE: New baseball trivia - BobK - 05-16-2020

Well I missed Mark MCGwire 3 HRs one game both leagues


RE: New baseball trivia - Phogge - 05-17-2020

Mac was one of my guesses in a post above.
