I thought I would put this out there and see the response level. It's baseball trivia. Rules 1. A question is posted and whoever gets it right then post their own trivia question. 2. No internet for looking up the answers. Honor system. 3. Keep it to one per day. 4. Person who posted question must come back on and announce the winner. 5. Yeah, I know, we will screw it up. 6. Don't like it, don't play. 7. If there is little response, we will close the thread. First question: What Major leaguer holds the record for career Home Runs by a catcher?
I was going to guess Bench as well but maybe Mike Piazza? If so what major league HOF player hit a home run in his first at bat and never hit another one?
Again, as with most of these type questions I tend to go with my gut instinct, so I think it’s RHP Mel Stottlemeyer.
I now that you posted the story a few years back. Can't remember the pitcher's name. Now I will give a big clue about the my trivia question. He is the last pitcher to complete game no-hit the Yankees. But he is more famous for his career as a reliever. Also most career wins in relief. And most career innings in relief. Damn that is four decent trivia questions with the same answer! It should be easy now. Added in edit: First reliever inducted into the HOF? Five good trivia questions with the same answer.
I don't know if I got the @74nole trivia question right but I will post my all time favorite baseball trivia question. Everybody knows that Boston traded Babe Ruth to the Yankees after the 1919 season so he was the starting right fielder for the Yankees in 1920. So who was the primary right fielder for the Yankees in 1919? Hint: He is in the HOF in a different sport.
