Baseball Question on Jeopardy tonight???

[ndevlin]

Ive got an easy one....

What person or persons are in the Baseball Hall of Fame AND Football Hall of Fame? And what for?

It just makes what Jeter has done in NY even more amazing as (barring an injury) he will become the 1st Yankee to join the 3,000 hit club - and he will do it as a 'pure' Yankee... rookie year and 1st hit to 3,000 hit...

If Captain Lou didnt get sick, he would have easily had 3,000 hits, and probably still have the record right now, and for quite some time.

Cal Hubbard -

Yep yep

Here's another one for you to ponder - and one of my FAVORITE Baseball Trivia questions... it's a two part one...

Who are the 1st 300 win club starter and 300 save club closer to appear in the same MLB game together for the same team?

When this feat happened, what made the event even more memorable?

- Chris

And just for grins, since this happened I believe only 3 maybe 4 pairs of 300w/300s pitchers have appeared in the same game together for the same team...

Bonus Points if you can name any of those tandems...

If Captain Lou didnt get sick, he would have easily had 3,000 hits, and probably still have the record right now, and for quite some time.

I agree on that 2721 hits... he averaged 204 hits a season... 2 more seasons and he would have been there...

[ndevlin]

Yeah, and I can almost bet he wouldve played for another 5 yrs. Not to mention his HR total of 500+. Heck, probably 600+

Without a doubt...

Any guesses on my 300w/300s question yet?

[ndevlin]

Umm, my first guess would be Clemens and Wagner. But I dont think they were teammates at that time.

Clemens and Franco? They were teammates, but I dunno if they played in the same game
