Five trivia questions:
1) There are only two pitchers in MLB history who have:
- Thrown multiple no-hitters
- Won multiple Cy Young awards
- Won multiple league strikeout crowns
- Won multiple World Series titles
- Had multiple All-Star selections
One is a Dodger. One is a Giant. Name them. Phogge was right, Koufax and Lincecum.
2) Which pitcher won the most games in a season without winning the Cy Young award? Which pitcher lost the most games in a season while winning the Cy Young award? Hint: Both played on the same team, for multiple years. Most losses by a Cy Young award winner was Gaylord Perry, who went 24-16 in 1973 for the Cleveland Indians. Juan Marichal won 25 games three separate years and never won the Cy Young award. Not only did he never win it, he never finished in the Top Five. He won 25 in 1963 (25-5 Koufax) and 1966 (27-9 Koufax) and won 26 games in 1968 (losing to 22-9 Bob Gibson).
THREE MORE:
3) What do the following Hall of Famers have in common? Babe Ruth, Tom Seaver, Ken Griffey Jr., Rube Waddell, Sparky Anderson.
4) In Barry Bonds' iconic 73 HR season, he was walked intentionally 35 times, something that Barry experienced more and more, culminating in 120 IBBs in 2004, when he was 39 years old. How many times was Roger Maris walked intentionally the year he hit 61 HRs?
5) In 1921, Reuben Berman sued the New York Giants baseball team and won. What did he win, for which baseball fans have been forever grateful?
Now I remember. I thought it was "Penitentiary Face." "Hac-Man" was probably the most common.
