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
3. Pete Rose, Cal Ripken, Barry Bonds, Ricky Henderson
4. Babe Ruth, Bobby Bonds, Hank Aaron

Cone's only had one no hitter.

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

[Sir O]

I'll give Galt a 2.8 out of 5

[Galt]

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

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

[Galt]

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

I suck
