Sweet! I loves me some baseball trivia.

Some warm-up questions:

1) Name the 5 pitchers who have thrown no-hitters in both leagues.

2) Who is the only team to hit into 2 triple plays in the same game and who was it against?

3) Of the top 10 leaders in career games played, how many are not in the Hall of Fame and who are they?

4) Name the three major league hitters with 2,000 or more strikeouts.

5) Who was the first 3rd baseman to join the 30-30 club?

2. Yankees vs. Red Sox

4. Babe Ruth, Bobby Bonds, Hank Aaron
5. Howard Johnson

Cone's only had one no hitter.

Cal Ripken's not in the Hall of Fame yet? What year did he retire?



- Sir O - 01-26-2005

I'll give Galt a 2.8 out of 5


- Galt - 01-26-2005

I don't think Ripken is eligible until next year. I think Him, Gwynn, and someone else who's a surefire first balloter aren't eligible until next year.

I was wrong. It's '07, and "the other guy" is Mark McGwire.

I'm not that good at this.

But I was pretty sure Howard Johnson was right. And if that's right, then I should get more than 1.8 points from the other stuff

- Sir O - 01-26-2005

Eligible in 2007: Harold Baines, Derek Bell, Dante Bichette, Bobby Bonilla, Jeff Brantley, Jay Buhner, Ken Caminiti, Jose Canseco, Eric Davis, Tony Fernandez, Tony Gwynn, Darryl Hamilton, Pete Harnisch, Charlie Hayes, Glenallen Hill, Ken Hill, Stan Javier, Wally Joyner, Ramon Martinez, Mark McGwire, Paul O’Neill, Gregg Olson, Cal Ripken Jr., Bret Saberhagen, Jeff Shaw, Kevin Tapani, Devon White, Bobby Witt

You got one completely wrong, partial credit on a few.



- Galt - 01-26-2005

Oh, I actually got two completely wrong (assuming my Yankees/Sox guess was also wrong)

I suck

That one, you got one of the teams right, but on the wrong side.
