camuchs Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Well my first instinct was Hank and Willie but I thought you might think I meant Williams and Nelson! instead of Aaron and Mays :whome: Ok, Now; NEXT QUIZ: Who was the former Yankee (and Ruth team mate) that hit 60 HR’s, scored 202 runs and drove in 222 runs while playing in the Triple A Pacific Coast League (prior to donning the NY pinstripes)?

shoelessjoelives Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Tony Lazzeri while playing for the 1925 Salt Lake City team in the PCL was the slugger of note. He hit .355 and got 252 hits in that season. The thing that is not widely known is that the team played 197 games in that season and he had 710 AB's in the year.

You're still up, Joe! :D Proceed with the next quiz. 1936 The hoopla began on the opening day of spring training camp when Lazzeri and Frankie Crosetti drove to the team's Grapefruit League spring training camp with a fellow San Francisco Italian in the backseat. No sooner had the door opened and their passenger emerged, when pitcher Red Ruffing, eyeing him skeptically, said "So you're the great DiMaggio."

shoelessjoelives Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 can anybody name the pitcher who threw a no hitter and lost in that magical no hit season? Don't know how your question got overlooked or passed over. I don't work for the Moderators Inc. in SDC. The answer to your question should be "Ken Johnson pitched a complete game no-hitter and LOST because of 2 errors and a ground out. Pete Rose scored the winning run after 2 errors and a ground out in this landmark game played on April 23, 1964." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
