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

I remember Rickey being on the Padres late in his career. He and Gwynn?

Yount and Molitor

Nope...Molitor injured a lot early in career and went big in his late 30’s early 40’s....Yount was about done at age 35. Came up at 18 or 19

One pair is a lot earlier and one other was this century

Not related to this thread, but watching the As/Dodgers WS game 1 last night I was surprised to see Dave Parker batting 4 hole for the As, between Canseco and McGwire.

Ultimate Righty/Lefty/Righty middle of the lineup reasoning many busted Dusty Baker's balls for?

The Cobra only went for .257/12/57 that season.

Just thought it was a little odd, but follows the general school of thought of breaking up the righties in the middle of the lineup for a late game matchup and to hell with the 2-4 at bats before that moment.....

Did gwynn and Rickey play together in SD? Seems like Rickey played with everyone near the end.

Oct 7 2001...Rickey got his 3000th in the 1st inning of final game of year and Gwynn’s final career game.

So for 8+ innings they made the list as teammates each with 3000

Last pair was a long time ago....one answer of the pair has been an answer a couple times and not sure the other has

Speaker and lajoie

Speaker is correct...Lajoie too far back by a decade

I think that rules out a tribe teammate.

Speaker and Collins had to be about same time, but I don't think that they were ever teammates.

Wow. Only about 5 players had 3000 hits at that time. It's crazy to think that 3 of them were on the same team.

Question #72 (I think?):

Only five Pitcher-Catcher teammates have won the Gold Glove in the same year since 1957.

Two of them did it more than once.

One of those two pairs did it on two separate teams (1 of them is a HOF), both times after 1990.

Name that pair.

Maddux won about every golf glove from 1990-2010 lol....his catchers weren’t very good i don’t think.

Buehrle/Pierzenski?

Only I can think of is Pudge/Kenny Rogers

Bench and someone? Don Gullett?

Molina/Wainright?

I don’t get the two different teams? The same pitcher catcher combo won gold gloves the same season but did it again on another team? No clue

Welp, that was quick.

Pudge and Kenny did it once on the Rangers and once on the Tigers.
