Re: Baseball Question on Jeopardy tonight???

No its someone from the 50's and 60's. Thats a tough one. I came up with Zimmer and Neal, but thats not right. They are both missing a team.

That's not one to be proud of!!! Kind of like Nolan and his 26 or so MLB records... while he holds the K record, he also issued the most BB!!!

Re: Baseball Question on Jeopardy tonight???

Xpress I know, but I had to add it as he does hold that record and I am honest about my favorite player

Re: Baseball Question on Jeopardy tonight???

Ohhhh, gotcha.

I thought you were asking who played for Brooklyn, NY Mets, NY Yankees, NY Giants.

Brooklyn and NY Giants being former. Yankees/Mets being current.

Honestly, I was pretty close to coming up with one:-)

Re: Baseball Question on Jeopardy tonight???

Actually no on else did it before Starwberry while all 4 teams were in new York mets didnt exist until after the Dodgers and Giants left

[ndevlin]

Re: Baseball Question on Jeopardy tonight???

True, but if you were to play for the Dodgers in 56, the Giants in 57, the Yankees 58-61, and the Mets 62-63.

8 yr career covering all 4 teams. It was possible. Thats why I was throwing out players like Zimmer and Neal.

Re: Baseball Question on Jeopardy tonight???

Thats possible, but no one did all 4 teams till the Straw man lol lol

Re: Baseball Question on Jeopardy tonight???

New Question:

Only THREE HOFers have ever gone on to eventually hold the position of Team President.

Nolan Ryan is the latest.

Can you name the other two? And the teams?

Re: Baseball Question on Jeopardy tonight???

Eddie Collins
Hank Greenburg

Ken

Re: Baseball Question on Jeopardy tonight???

Ken -

Nice guess, but you still need to go back a bit further...

The last HOFer to become a Team President prior to Ryan was 'Big Six' - Christy Mathewson who became President of the Boston Braves in 1923 and 1925...

But there is still one more...

Anyone?
