Tim McG Posted August 18, 2012 Report Posted August 18, 2012 Exactly. Now who's up for some baseball talk? Quote
Mike Schwartz Posted August 18, 2012 Report Posted August 18, 2012 This is the type of production any team would hope for in a trade deadline deal.....a return to form indeed: A three-time All-Star, (Hanley) Ramirez struggled offensively this season while with the Marlins, batting .246 in 93 games. The former NL batting champion has enjoyed a resurgence in his 22 games with the Dodgers, batting .322 with 23 RBIs. Quote
paul secor Posted August 19, 2012 Report Posted August 19, 2012 King Felix tosses a perfect game He beat the Yanks a few weeks ago and was brilliant, congrats to a good pitcher. He's a very good pitcher, but when he beat the Yanks, he hit Suzuki, hit Jeter, and hit A-Rod and broke his hand. The Yanks never or very rarely retaliate for stuff like this. Don't understand that at all. Quote

BERIGAN Posted August 19, 2012 Report Posted August 19, 2012 A really good trivia question....what hitter had the highest B.A. from 1960 thru 1969??? Quote
GA Russell Posted August 19, 2012 Report Posted August 19, 2012 A really good trivia question....what hitter had the highest B.A. from 1960 thru 1969??? Tony Oliva? Quote
GA Russell Posted August 19, 2012 Report Posted August 19, 2012 ss1, I saw Brett play in the 1973 American Association All-Star game in Omaha (along with Bucky Dent and Joel Come'on People Now Youngblood), so I assume that he was a rookie in '74. Quote
JETman Posted August 19, 2012 Report Posted August 19, 2012 ss1, I saw Brett play in the 1973 American Association All-Star game in Omaha (along with Bucky Dent and Joel Come'on People Now Youngblood), so I assume that he was a rookie in '74. Right, he did not play during the 60s. Even the most casual of baseball fans would know this, so I'm guessing that SS1 was just being goofy. Quote
JSngry Posted August 19, 2012 Report Posted August 19, 2012 Clemente or Aaron or F. Robinson would be my first guesses. Quote
BERIGAN Posted August 19, 2012 Report Posted August 19, 2012 I'll give some folks a chance in the A.M. then give the answer in the Afternoon...stay tuned! Quote
GA Russell Posted August 19, 2012 Report Posted August 19, 2012 Jim, I think your guesses are too obvious. My first thought was Pete Rose. If it is any of your choices, I don't think that Berrigan would have said that it is "a really good trivia question." But perhaps I'm reading too much into it! Quote
JETman Posted August 19, 2012 Report Posted August 19, 2012 One important question: did he have to play in all 10 years included? Clemente won 4 titles, Yaz 3, Oliva, Rose, Pete Runnels and Tommy Davis 2 apiece. I'm guessing Rod Carew. Quote
Quincy Posted August 19, 2012 Report Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) Clemente or Aaron or F. Robinson would be my first guesses. I'm going Roberto, just because he had a little less power (thus thinking a little more average) plus Forbes Field was so nuts. Triple city in right for when he went the other way. I like the Oliva guess second. Edited August 19, 2012 by Quincy Quote
JETman Posted August 19, 2012 Report Posted August 19, 2012 Ok, it's not Carew; his rookie year was 1967. Clemente went 1,877 for 5,723 for an average of .328 in that 10 year period. Oliva went 1,094 for 3,550 for an average of .308 from 1962 through 1969 =======> Not the winner! Rose went 1,327 for 4,301 for an average of .309 from 1963 through 1969 =======> Not the winner! F. Robinson went 1,603 for 5,265 for an average of .304 in that 10 year period =======> Not the winner! Yastrzemski went 1,517 for 5,175 for an average of .293 from 1961 through 1969 ======> Not the winner! Looks like we MAY have a winner in Clemente, but I'm too tired to check all players who played in that decade Any other reasonable guesses? Quote

Clemente won 4 titles, Yaz 3, Oliva, Rose, Pete Runnels and Tommy Davis 2 apiece. I'm guessing Rod Carew. yep, all 10... Well, then Clemente certainly qualifies. Is there a minimum for number of at-bats? Quote
Neal Pomea Posted August 19, 2012 Report Posted August 19, 2012 Throw Matty Alou in there, although his career batting average from 1960-1974 was .307, and he had a few lean years in the '60s. Quote
Soulstation1 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) I got it Curt Flood Side guess Hendrix or Morrison?????? Did he say most hits in MLB? Edited August 19, 2012 by Soulstation1 Quote
BERIGAN Posted August 19, 2012 Report Posted August 19, 2012 (edited) Well, GA, I thought it was a pretty good trivia question, you may disagree! Some good guesses, though Carew didn't start til 1967(and hit under .300 his first 2 years!) Mr Sangrey, Quincy and JETman got it.... Roberto Clemente . I guess what blew me away was he hit .328, the next closest player(and I sure didn't expect it to be impossible to pull up what they mentioned a few nights ago on baseball tonight, Quincy halp!) was either Aaron or Robinson(I think) at .309 A Nearly 20 point difference! And we are talking a guy with some power, it wasn't like it was Carew. Even though Clemente is talked about as one of the very best right fielders in the game to boot, he just doesn't seem to ever get compared to Mays, Mantle, and Aaron. I saw a very good story on Neil Walker that was apparently from Outside the Lines, (Link doesn't work now, more fail today, perhaps it will come back up http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=8255199 ) and re-ran on baseball tonight. The Pirates 2nd baseman wouldn't be here today if Clemente hadn't kept his Dad, Tom Walker from boarding the plane that fateful day in 1972. Story here Anyway after ESPN ran that story, they showed those stats. And now you know...the rest of the story! Wait, one more, I remember from a Trivia tournament I was in a few weeks ago... What hitter has the highest career BA since Ted Williams? Shouldn't be quite as hard... Edited August 19, 2012 by BERIGAN Quote
Aggie87 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Posted August 19, 2012 The Astros axed Brad Mills, after less than three years with the team, and promoted AAA manager Tony De Francesco to helm things. In a way I'm disappointed for Mills, as he never was able to work with any real talent, so he never had a real chance to field a competitive team. At best they were/are a group of AA/AAA caliber players. I'm not sure anybody will have much success with this team, given its makeup. Quote
