Good guesses...but they are all wrong
-
Dizzy Dean is correct. 1) How many years did Connie Mack manage the Athletics? 2) Which manager has the highest career winning percentage? 3) Who managed the 1957 World Champion Milwaukee Braves? 4) Which manager has the most wins in the National League? 5) Who was the 2nd black manager in the majors after Frank Robinson?
-
1) Correct, Dodgers (6), Cardinals (10)2) Correct, A's (8), Yankees (26) 3) McLain, Grove Correct, Newcombe is wrong, there is one more. 4) Correct, .394 in 1994. You could say this shouldnt count because of the strike, but you could also argue he would have finnished at .410 without the strike so I think it counts. 5) Correct 6) Correct, Boy Jeenius is correct with "The Meal Ticket"

1) Which NL team has the 2nd most World Series titles among NL teams? 2) Which AL team has the 2nd most World Series titles among AL teams? 3) Who are the 3 pitchers who have won 30 games in a season since Jim Bagby won 31 games for Cleveland in 1920? 4) Who has come closest to hitting .400 since Ted Williams did in 1941? 5) Who has hit the only grand slam in the all-star game? 6) Which pitcher is famous for striking out Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons and Joe Cronin in a row in the 1934 All-Star game (bonus what was his nickname)?

Got em all nice job. Musial won 3 in the 1940s, Ted Williams won 2 but did NOT win the MVP in either of his triple crown years (1947, 1942) or the year he hit .406 and led the league in HRs (1941)
-
1950s Berra (3) is correct, still one more 1960s Marris (2) and F. Robinson (2) are both correct 1970s Morgan (2) is correct, still one more 1990s Bonds (3) is correct 2000s Bonds (4) is correct

1st out at 3rd, where is the coaching TLR?
-
Starting with the modern MVP in 1931, Who won the most MVPs in the majors in each decade (decade defined as going from the 0 year to the 9 year, so the 40s is 1940-1949)? 1930s? 1940s? 1950s? (2 playes tied) 1960s? (2 players tied) 1970s? (2 players tied) 1980s? 1990s? 2000s?

Correct, Frank Robinson at .316 Yaz won the batting title with the lowest average of .301 in the year of the pitcher, 1968
-
Correct, they started in 1901 and did not win the WS until 1966. The original 8 and first WS win: Milwaukee/St. Louis/Baltimore: 1966 Detroit: 1935 Washington/Minnesota: 1924 Baltimore/New York Yankees: 1923 Cleveland: 1920 Philadelphia/Kansas City/Oakland: 1910 Chicago Sox: 1906 Boston: 1903

1) Who are the only 2 players to hit for 2 batting triple crowns? 2) Who won the triple crown with the lowest batting average? 3) Who has the most career doubles? 4) Who has the most career triples? 5) Of the original American League teams, who was the last to win the World Series?
-
That is because he played in the National Association from its start in 1871 until the National League started in 1876. There is some debate about if National Association stats should count, but he did have over 2000 if you count his entire career. But he was a huge racist and a Cub so Ill say you are right.
-
There is 1 more, very old school guy who played his entire career pre 1900
-
Yup you got it
-
2) Wrong4) Nice job. The Red Sox have a 8 game WS winning streak but the Reds won the 1990 WS 4-0, 1976 WS 4-0 and game 7 of the 1975 WS for a 9 game winning streak 5) Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth are correct
-
1) Correct Frank Robinson2) Wrong 3) Correct Hornsby 4) Wrong 5) Aaron correct

A few for the weekend: 1) Who is the only player to win the MVP in both leagues? 2) Who is the only player to win the MVP and CY Young unanimously in the same season? 3) Who has the 2nd highest all-time career batting average after Ty Cobb? 4) Which team has the longest ACTIVE winning streak in World Series games? 5) Who are the 3 players who have 2000 career RBI?

This is all correct so far.
-
Remember guys, if you hear any Favre-soon-to-be-a-viking related comments from the Twinkies just mention Gary Anderson and that they are 0-4 in the Superbowl.
-
Another list question, this one is pretty old school and hopefully not too hard: Which of the following events happened most recently: Babe Ruth's called shot in the World Series The first All-Star game was played Hack Wilson's 191 RBI season Lou Gehrig won the Triple Crown The Tigers won their first World Series The modern MVP award was created
-
Correct, the Tigers are the only American League team to lose 3 straight WS which they did from 1907-1909, and the Giants are the only National League team to lose 3 straight WS which they did from 1911-1913. The Giants also played in 4 straight WS from 1921-1924 going W-W-L-L. The first 2 wins were over Ruths Yankees and the Yankees won their first WS in 1923 and Walter Johnson got his only WS win with the Senators over the Giants in '24. The Reds played in back to back WS twice in 1939-1940 (L-W) and 1975-1976 (W-W). They have never played in 3 straight. Also the Yankees have played in 3+ straight World Series 9 different times, as Rock would say, "I mean are you kdding me."
