OT: Baseball Trivia at Noon today

[brett05]

Let me google the word "trivia" for you.

I know the definition. Your question classification is obscure for obscure things was the point. But again, to each his own.

 

[Parade_Rain]

Could there be a spelling nuance in your question PR?

There are 3 possible nuances, not 4.

This player had a nose for baseball. This player was a second round pick of the Yankees out of high school.

Bo Knows

 

[brett05]

ok I am bringing back my WAR Franchise Ledaer question. It would appear many of you are "sleeping" on the answer.

 

[CSF77]

Nap Lajoie?

 

[brett05]

He's my last WAR leader. He's the one player I think we all know that played his entire career in the 19th century. This piece of equipment should help you find your answer. He is?

 

[brett05]

Thank God......

oh silly you.

Jasyon Stark question from ESPN today:

There are four active players that have had a streak of 5 consecutive seasons of 20 homers and .300 average. Who are they?

Jasyon Stark question from ESPN today:

Albert Pujols, Miguel Cabrera and Robinson Cano for certain.

I can't figure out the third one. Votto, Ortiz, Braun, Werth...all good, but not in that catgeory of 5 straight. Yikes. Someone come up with that 4th player!

 

[brett05]

You got three and yes all of the rest are not #4. I thought Arod but even though he's a lifetime .297 hitter he's not 5 in a row for average.

 

[SilenceS]

Matt Holiday

 

[brett05]

Matt Holiday is our fourth. Great job you two!

I thought it was between him and Braun but I went with him. Turns out Braun missed it by 1 year.

I had Holliday on my 8th guess or so. I thought Arod Ortiz, Pujols and Cabrera. I even had a thought for an Adam Jones and an Andrew McCutchen

There are a lot of really good players who missed one or the other stat by one year.

 

[brett05]

OK, I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 3, what is it?

 

[Mr. Cub]

OK, I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 3, what is it?

Technically the answer is 2 as it's the only number "between". But you could be thinking of any of the 3 said digits, so I'll say 3. :yep:
