What is special about Joe Nuxhull?

pan6467 · 03-05-2004, 10:46 AM

He was the youngest ever MLB player. At the ripe old age of 16.

djtestudo · 03-05-2004, 12:29 PM

Actually, he was 15, but you're right.

pan6467 · 03-05-2004, 01:28 PM

What 2 hall of famers were on the 1919 Black sox team? One was a 2B and 1 was a C.

djtestudo · 03-05-2004, 02:19 PM

I know the 2b was Eddie Collins, but I have no clue about the catcher.

pan6467 · 03-05-2004, 05:00 PM

2B is correct if noone answers with both by tomorrow it's your save and pitch.

forseti-6 · 03-06-2004, 09:22 AM

My guess was going to be Eddie Ciccotte (sp?) but he was a pitcher and I think he was banned too.... I searched and found the right answer, but that's cheating.... I never even heard of the other catcher guy.

JoeyB · 03-06-2004, 10:28 AM

Ray Schalk was their catcher, but did he make the Hall of Fame???

djtestudo · 03-06-2004, 10:55 AM

You're right JoeyB. You can go ahead and ask.

pan6467 · 03-07-2004, 06:26 AM

Yes Ray and Eddie. Theywere the 2. Ray was like a Carlton Fisk type. Not powerful, but a hard nosed player and one that in his day was looked upon as one of the best.

JoeyB · 03-07-2004, 12:03 PM

Who is the only pitcher to win a World Series game in 3 different decades???

djtestudo · 03-07-2004, 12:30 PM

Mr. Underwear Model himself...Jim Palmer.

The Baltimore Orioles used to be the St. Louis Browns, but moved in 1954. Before they were the Browns, what other city did the franchise call home?

Cleveland Spiders?

djtestudo · 03-07-2004, 08:35 PM

BigGov · 03-07-2004, 09:43 PM

This is a weird one, but I believe the Milwaukee Brewers.

djtestudo · 03-08-2004, 10:13 AM

Ding ding ding...

forseti-6 · 03-08-2004, 06:14 PM

Brewers? Wow, I certainly didn't know that. I know Baltimore used to be a minor league team... is that what Milwaukee used to be as well?

BigGov · 03-08-2004, 08:43 PM

Yay, got one, so here's another:

Pete Gray played only one year of professional baseball, in 1945 with the St. Louis Browns. He played in 77 games, had a .218 Batting Average, scored 26 runs, and had 13 RBI's.

With stats that poor, why is he a memorable baseball player?

They were a minor league team, like the Orioles, for a while before the Braves moved there in '53. However, when the AL became a major league in 1901, the Brewers were a major league team. The next season, however, they moved to St. Louis, and 50 years later, to Baltimore.

He had only one arm. One of the unsung heros of the game.

pan6467 · 03-11-2004, 02:18 PM

Ok it has been well over the 24 hr time period so we'll continue

Everyone knows Cleveland's baseball team was named the Spiders, the Naps and of course the Indians............... What was their very first name?

Cleveland Forest Citys, I believe. There were two teams with that name in the original NL.

djtestudo · 03-11-2004, 03:15 PM

And since I answered the Pete Gray question...

The Yankees have the most world championships of any baseball team. What team is second, and how many?

JoeyB · 03-11-2004, 03:39 PM

Dodgers......10

djtestudo · 03-11-2004, 04:23 PM

No...they only have six.

EDIT: I just checked, and found potentially two answers, one AL and one NL, so give me one.

And I ment World Series, so nothing before 1903 counts.

pan6467 · 03-11-2004, 11:18 PM

St Louis Cardinals I believe 12 not sure on total, then the Dodgers, and then I believe my beloved REDS with 4 (40,75,76 and 90)

by the way Forest City Spiders is right good answer

edited because I am a dunce and forgot 1919 but can't count that because it was fixed. I kept looking and realized something was wrong

JoeyB · 03-12-2004, 07:23 AM

What about the Giants?

This would be so much easier if I could just do a search!!!

djtestudo · 03-12-2004, 09:49 AM

Hint: I used BaseballReference.com and just eyeballed, and found two answers. I'll check there again, because something seems to be adding wrong.

Just checked MLB.com, and the answers I thought are right, but as another hint and as assistance, one team did it in two cities.

pan6467 · 03-12-2004, 11:27 AM

I'm pretty sure it is the Cards but if it's a 2 city team then it could be the Philly/Oakland A's with 9. I thought you wanted single city

djtestudo · 03-12-2004, 12:24 PM

I was going by franchise, and I'm really wondering why MLB.com split the Athletics up 5 and 4 instead of 9.

You got them both, so ask away.

pan6467 · 03-12-2004, 02:25 PM

Ed Delahanty was a great balkl player at the turn of last century. But he met his demise in a very weird way, how did he die?

He got kicked off his team (Philadelphia I believe) during a road trip in Detroit, and while taking the train home through Canada, got drunk and was kicked off right before the border. He chased the train and fell through the railroad bridge over the Niagra River.

One of my favorite stories

pan6467 · 03-12-2004, 10:44 PM

Good answer. Yes it is a great story.

djtestudo · 03-13-2004, 11:12 AM

There are several players who played in both the major leagues and the NBA. Name one.

pan6467 · 03-13-2004, 01:50 PM

Danny Ainge

djtestudo · 03-13-2004, 02:14 PM

Correct.

forseti-6 · 03-13-2004, 07:37 PM

Dave Debushcere (sp?)

JoeyB · 03-14-2004, 11:20 AM

I know it's already answered, but don't the Blue Jays have a pitcher who played briefly?? I think his name is Mark Hendrickson.

djtestudo · 03-14-2004, 12:55 PM

He got traded to Tampa, but I think you may be right.

Pan6467 got it right first, though.

pan6467 · 03-14-2004, 02:48 PM

Ok here goes.......... who was awarded what we now call Free Agency first and what is special about him?

(I'm thinking of who won the court case in the '70's that allowed him to void his "lifetime contract")
