Baseball Trivia

[catman]

I believe we have tried a thread of this sort in the past, but I feel that it will be a way for us baseball fans to keep our interest up this off-season.
The game is simple. A question is posed and the person that answers it correctly posts the next one. You all know the drill. The questions can be very easy or very challenging. I'll start with an easy one.
Question #1 -- Which pitcher lead the AL in strikeouts last season?

[suedon1970]

Johan Santana?

[catman]

correct. You're up.

[suedon1970]

Wow! And I didn't even cheat & check a web site for the answer!:thumbup:

This will be easy for some of you:

What two brothers have the most wins?

[catman]

The Niekros, Phil and Joe (may he rest in peace).

[suedon1970]

The Niekros, Phil and Joe (may he rest in peace).

Correct! 539 wins between them....

Since Sue didn't post a question (damn slacker) I'll put one up...

Who is the only pitcher in the 20th century to win the Cy Young Award while playing on a team that finished in last place?

[catman]

That would be Steve Carleton, I believe. 1972 Phillies (I remember it well. I had just graduated from high school).

For the next question, which family (brothers, father/son) has the most home runs in baseball history?

[suedon1970]

The Dimaggio Brothers? (Joe, Dom & ?)

[catman]

Nope, not the DiMaggios (the 3rd brother was Vince). The answer is a bit closer to home for you, Sue.

[suedon1970]

The answer is a bit closer to home for you, Sue.

Barry & Bobby Bonds?

[catman]

I don't believe Saduharo Oh had a brother or father that played ball, so you are correct. I would add and asterisk to the record, however.
