[Dad2ze]

Who is the first player to hit a MLB home run and what team did he play for?

Wild guess : Cap Anson/ Cubs ????

Wild guess : Cap Anson/ Cubs ????

No sir!!! You kinda got part of the question. Cubs is present day.

 

[dtodd4475]

The only other 1800's type player I recall reading about was "King" Kelly, but he played for Cincinatti or Boston I think. I'm going to have to tap out on this one if it's not "King Kelly".

 

[dtodd4475]

Unless maybe a trick question : Cy Young, but I'm fairly sure he didn't play for Chicago either.

 

[Dad2ze]

I’ll wait a little longer. One of the OFC may get it .

UNCLE. For real. I looked it up. No one will get it. Time to move on. This game is getting really tough. I guess the next question will bevwho was the 1st. MLB pitcher to throw a swinging strike, who was the batter that swung and missed and what teams did they play for. OFC

 

[Dad2ze]

Ross Barnes play for the Chicago White Stockings now the Cubs.

 

[Dad2ze]

I guess I’ll go easier...

Dave Winfield was drafted in 3 different sports.

Name the two of the three teams that drafted him? Bonus points if you can tell what is unique about one of the sports he was drafted for.

 

[dtodd4475]

The 3 sports were football, basketball, and baseball. He never played college football, so I am going to guess his hometown team took the chance on him. So, Minnesota Vikings.

Not sure who took him in baseball, but he started his big league career with the Padres, so San Diego Padres.

No idea who took him in basketball, Kansas City Kings ?

 

[hart2chesson]

I will go with Padres and Cleveland Browns...

OFC

 

[dukiejay]

The Atlanta Hawks drafted him. In fact, I think an ABA team may have even used a pick on him.

Correct! @dtodd4475 you're up.

@dukiejay was second with the Hawks and the ABA team was Utah Stars

Only 4 players have made the 40/40 club (home runs & stolen bases) for a season in MLB history.

Who was the first to reach it and the last player, to this point, to reach 40/40 ?

 

[GillJET]

Jose Canseco was the first. Alfonso Soriano the most recent. Alex Rodriguez and Barry Bonds were the other two to go 40/40.

That is correct. You are up GillJet.

 

[GillJET]

What father-son duo each finished with 319 career home runs?

 

[Dad2ze]

I only know a few father-son duos....I’m gonna guess Cecil and Prince Fielder.

 

[dtodd4475]

Moises and Felipe Alou ??

 

[dukiejay]

Ray Boone and Bob Boone?

 

[dukiejay]

I think the Fielder’s became just the second father-son combo to ever each hit 300 homeruns. So it wouldn’t be them. And something tells me Moises might have hit more than 319 himself.

 

[GillJET]

I only know a few father-son duos....I’m gonna guess Cecil and Prince Fielder.

That’s it, pretty wild they finished with the exact same number.

 

[dtodd4475]

And something tells me Moises might have hit more than 319 himself.

Got me curious and you were right. Moises did have more, but not by much. He ended up with 332. His dad ended up well short of 300 finishing with 206.

 

[Dad2ze]

How many home runs did Ty Cobb hit in the three world series in which he played?

 

[skysdad]

Zero.
OFC

 

[dukiejay]

My guess is zero, too. But since that answer is taken I’ll say one.

 

[dukedevilz]

Since zero and one are already taken, I'll say two.

 

[Canadian Dukie]

We had that question a couple weeks ago,the answer is zero

 

[dukedevilz]

^If that's the case, then @skysdad is up.

 

[hart2chesson]

^If that's the case, then @skysdad is up.

Good job Sky!
