I 92’s Baseball Trivia....Hall of Fame thread

If Schmidt or Gehrig is wrong I’ll guess Mays as the other.

Gehrig and Schmidt?

That's them.  Nice memory!

I'll get another up in a minute.I thought Shawn Green was 3 HR and 2 2B?

Shawn had 4 HR and 2 doubles in the same game...most total bases ever in a game. That’s my memory of him

Ok, that's right. I thought it was something to do with 4 HRs.

QUESTION #14

Seventeen players have hit four home runs in four consecutive at-bats spanning two games.  In 1990, one player finished the streak forty days after starting it because of injury.  Who was it?

(Think a power hitter with some injury issues in 1990.)

Eric Davis?

Wait. Is this a HOFer? I always forget that part.

Probably would have been had his career not been derailed by injury.

Bo?

Bo seems likely.

Bo seems likely.

I think that 1990 was the year where he missed several games. I know that he had his bad injury in the 1990 football season, and I remember Ronald Reagan announcing the all star game in 1989 when he hit the lead off homerun.

Bo it is.

Popped 3 HRs in his last three at-bats on July 17th before getting injured.  In his first at-bat back on August 26th, he popped another

QUESTION #15

During the '90s, base-stealing in the American League was dominated by Ricky Henderson and Kenny Lofton.  However, they only led the league eight of the ten years from '90 to '99.  What one player led the other two seasons?

Rock Raines

Harold Reynolds?

I think that a Tiger led it one year. I'm drawing a blank on his name.

You're onto it.  The same Tiger led two separate years between '90 and '99.

Harold Reynolds?

Nope.

Brian Hunter went 70+ one year and he played for Tigers some...he’s my guess

Reynolds led in like 86 and I recall him talking about it and Rickey Henderson called him up and joked to him about his low total winning it....Rickey was injured

That's it.  Brian Hunter led the AL in '97 and' 99.
