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

Sandberg?

Jim Rice had back to back 15 3B seasons according to the baseball card I looked at 3 days ago. Did that lead the league? Lol

Willie Stargell

Don’t seem very triple...ee

Not sure Dave Winfield ever had the power, but he would’ve possessed the capabilities for both. Also don’t think he won MVP. But know he was top 3 at least.

19 3B one year, never more than 8 in any other season.

I think his high in HR was 37 or 39

Rice in 1978 I think led AL in HR with 46 and MLB in triples with 45

19 triples 1 year and 40 HR one year to lead NL

Wait, does the question say something about that?  Led in triples one year.  Led the with 40 HRs in another year.  Hmm ... I might be misreading the question.

Laley wins.....next round of questions on Monday

Hope you’ve enjoyed so far

No, you were fine. I just thought that 19 3B season was crazy given his totals in every other season.

That’s wild. I actually guessed him thinking he hit more triples than that regularly. 

Yeah, I would've expected more consistently high seasons. 

Ironman said it was cool if I popped one in here.  Since he's coming back on Monday, I figured I'd drop on in.

QUESTION #11:
There are only six players to have hit 30+ HRs in ten or more consecutive seasons, and only one is in the Hall of Fame: Jimmie Foxx. Who are the other five?

HINT: They're all post-1970.

Highish HR guys not in the HOF.

Dale Murphy
Fred McGriff

Wait. Or active, not yet eligible players.
