nationals

 

[kingbluedevil]

Larry Bird

 

[geddoughton23]

Not the Nationals or Larry Bird. The Nationals was a better guess than Bird😁

 

[skysdad]

Larry Bird

Larry Bird was great. OFC

 

[skysdad]

K.C. Royals OFC

 

[geddoughton23]

Not the Royals, but the correct time zone

 

[GillJET]

Astros?

 

[GillJET]

Somebody else take the next question, I’ve got nothing.

 

[geddoughton23]

Yes. Astros is correct. GillJet declined so anybody ask the next question

 

[NCirishman]

What was Morganna Roberts’ nickname?

 

[geddoughton23]

She was the KISSING BANDIT

 

[NCirishman]

That’s correct, you are up with the next question.

 

[geddoughton23]

Who had the most hits in MLB in both 2018 and 2019? Hint:. He's on a bad team

 

[NCirishman]

Tim Anderson?

If that’s correct the Sox won’t be bad much longer.

Lots of young talent on that roster..

 

[geddoughton23]

Not Anderson. The player is on a Midwest team. He's from North Carolina

 

[geddoughton23]

The player is from Davie County in North Carolina and played for the university of South Carolina. He plays second base

 

[NCirishman]

He was actually my other choice...

 

[geddoughton23]

The player we are looking for is the second baseman for the Kansas City Royals

 

[GillJET]

Whit Merrifield

 

[geddoughton23]

Yes. Great job, GillJet! Whit Merrifield is the answer

 

[GillJET]

Who’s the all time leader in MLB history for grounding into double plays?

 

[geddoughton23]

EDDIE MURRAY? He played in a lot of games and wasn't very fast

 

[GillJET]

Not Murray, he’s top ten though. This player is still active.

 

[GillJET]

Nicknamed The Machine

 

[geddoughton23]

ALBERT PUJOLS..I don't know if he's called the Machine,. but he is incredibly slow and has played a long time

 

[GillJET]

ALBERT PUJOLS..I don't know if he's called the Machine,. but he is incredibly slow and has played a long time

You got it and you are up

 

[geddoughton23]

One of my favorite players was an All America basketball and baseball player at Ole Miss. He had a 16 year major league career as a great defensive shortstop for the Cardinals,Cubs and White Sox. He was the last player-manager in the American League for the White Sox. Who is this player?

 

[NCirishman]

DeJesus?

 

[geddoughton23]

Not Ivan DeJesus. Good guess. DeJesus followed the person I've asked about with the Cubs. My grandmother rooted for the Cubs and pronounced his name the same way she said it in Church instead of the Latin American way. I always smiled to myself when she said it

 

[hart2chesson]

I will go with Don Kessinger. It was either him or Glenn Beckert I think.However I seem to remember Don doing a little managing??? OFC

 

[geddoughton23]

Kessinger is correct! hart2 chesson is up. Kessinger later went home and had a very good record as manager for Ole Miss

 

[hart2chesson]

How many Masters golf tournaments did Nicklaus and Palmer combine to win?

OFC

 

[geddoughton23]

NINE?? I know Nicklaus has 6. And I believe 3 for Palmer

 

[hart2chesson]

NINE?? I know Nicklaus has 6. And I believe 3 for Palmer

Close ged

OFC

 

[geddoughton23]

Ten

 

[hart2chesson]

Ten

10 it is ged, Jack as you noted won 6. Palmer's 4 interestingly came in alternative Masters events over 8 years: '58,'60,'62, and '64. ged take it away pal!

OFC

 

[geddoughton23]

Thanks. I read that you're a golfer. I'm sure it was nice, but on the replays from the early 60s, Augusta looks like a goat track comparrd to now. And Arnie's swing looks bizarre. Can't believe that he was so great with that swing. He was very strong and charismatic

 

[geddoughton23]

Joe Dimaggio has the hits in consecutive games with 56. Pete Rose is second with 44. Who is Third on the List?

 

[skysdad]

Wade Boggs. OFC

 

[hart2chesson]

Tommy Heinrich

OFC
