good answer but not what I was thinking of. No this guy was in the '70's.
|
Well, I just looked through Baseball Reference and I haven't a clue. Next guess...
|
This player was a pitcher.
|
Wild Guess...Len Barker, who pitched the only perfect game in franchise history?
|
no good guess though
he was originally a Baltimore Oriole |
Frank Robinson being the first black manager?
I know that isn't right since that was a trade, but dammit I'm gonna get this one :p |
Joe Charboneau? I dunno, his named popped up in my head for some odd reason
|
The answer is Wayne Garland, but I have absolutely NO idea what is special about him and the Indians :)
Edit: I found it...Damn that was a challenge :D I had to Google to find it so I'll wait until no one else can get it to post the answer. |
If the answer is Wayne Garland, there's no question that it was a challenge!!!!
|
Ok I cheated and googled him, and know what's special about him.... he pitched a no-hitter in his first start...
|
Really? This is what I found.
He was the first FA to sign a million-dollar contract, with the Indians for 10 years, and was waived after five after hurting his arm warming up on his FIRST DAY of spring training for the Indians, pitching poorly that year, undergoing surgury the next year, and never was the same. My guess is that you are closer though. |
DJ is right, the special thing about Wayne Garland was he became the first FA to sign a multi-million dollar contract (2.3 million over 10 years.)
The no hitter I didn't know about. wow I had a good one. Normally people race to get to my question. ok DJ you are up |
How am I gonna follow that :D
What manager has the highest career winning percentage? |
Connie Mack
|
Nope
|
Bobby Cox??
|
Nope
|
Torre?
EDIT: I assume we're talking about a credible number of games? I know there are a few guys who retired like 3-0 and stuff. |
Dick Howser
|
1) Nope.
2) I got the answer from BaseballReference.com, and he is a legendary manager. 3) Nope |
Okay, before I just start rattling off names, which wouldn't be fair......my last guess.
Joe McCarthy. |
Casey Stengel or Sparky Anderson?

I was hoping it would be that hard, since even though he was the manager of a series of great Yankees teams, he kind of gets lost deep in the shuffle of the great managers. |
I got one?? Blind squirrell---nut.
What player went the longest without a stolen base???? |
Cecil Fielder
Edit: You mean position players? |

You got it! Well done. |
Who are the only 4 players to pitch two no hitters in one season?
|
Johnny Vander Meer
Allie Reynolds Sandy Koufax Nolan Ryan |

|
Dammit...now I have to think about it :D
A guess as wild as Rick Ankiel...Gaylord Perry |
I just found it...Jim Maloney
|
Quote:
|
I just found it (try 2)...Virgil Trucks

What trade involved the most players in baseball history?
|
I believe that was the Orioles trade their first year here, 1954 when they got Gus Triandos for Don Larsen and there were like 20 other guys involved. Leave it to the Orioles to trade the Yankees their Series perfect Game Pitcher:):):)
|
I'll assume that was correct and throw one out there:
Two guys have won the National League Rookie of the Year and the American League MVP award. Name them. |
Dick Allen
Frank Robinson |
