YASNY Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 The last manager traded is that guy now on the north side. Can't recall his name at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord chas Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 10, 2008 -> 10:30 PM) Narrower hint on the no-hitter guy. It happened in the '80s. joe cowley? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YASNY Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Cowley crossed my mind, but because 8 inning ho-hitters don't count anymore I dismissed that thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know where I screwed up here now. Who was it? Andy Hawkins of the Yankees that lost an 8 inning no-hitter at Old Comiskey ... Seems like Ozzie hit one to left the was an error with bases loaded and 3 scored on the play. That was the game I thinking of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Name one. hack wilson....though there was no all star break back then, but at this point during his season i would think he would have and also hank greenberg had some enormous RBI seasons so ill guess him Edited July 12, 2008 by daa84 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChWRoCk2 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 (edited) Heres 4: Which baseball player wore a cabbage leaf under his hat? Who was the only baseball player traded for himself? Which player struck out 5 batters in an inning (think White Sox )? Name the only player to hit for the home run cycle (can be minor leaguer), also which mlb player recently came the closest and how close?

Chisoxfn Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I cheated and looked the answer up for the home run cycle and I'd have never known the answer, never. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Wow, that is one hell of a person to wear a cabbage leaf under his hat. Second off, how in the hell did you know these random facts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second off, how in the hell did you know these random facts? I retain a lot of useless baseball knowledge, and have several trivia books. Only question I didnt know was the home run cycle one, was always curious if anyone ever accomplished it. Figured I'd throw it out there to see if anyone knew the answer, found it though.

Chisoxfn Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Can you recommend some of those books. I love stuff like that and as a kid used to read random fact books (and was always intrigued by crap like that). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love stuff like that and as a kid used to read random fact books (and was always intrigued by crap like that). This book Baffling Baseball Trivia contains more situational stories from the game, the link is a preview. Not so much a stat book but interesting stories. MLB Book of Fabulous Facts and Trivia MLB Fact Book they update this every year, so I'm sure there is a newer version out. Some of the better ones I have. Theres always baseball-reference.com too. This is a trivia forum, hard to navigate though http://www.baseball-fever.com/forumdisplay.php?f=11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
