Dell Curry who pitched solidly, striking out four and allowing one run in three innings. The second man, Tyrone Bogues, did not fare so well. Muggsy struck out in both of his plate appearances.

 

Name the first National League manager to win consecutive all-star games and the years he won them. :clap:

Travis Jackson, 1923 New York Giants.

 

Travis was 22 days shy of his 20th birthday on October 11, 1923 when he flied out to left field as a pinch hitter, ending Game 2 of the 1923 World Series.

Clevelands's Elmer Smith hit the first World Series Grand Slam (a first inning jack off of of Brooklyn's Burleigh Grimes)

 

31-Game winner Jim Bagby became the first pitcher to hit a World Series home run (Grimes victimized again)

 

The Robins' Clarence Mitchell hit a line drive that Indian 2b Bill Wambsganss turned into an unassisted triple play.

 

Amazing game!! :clap:

LOL @ Half point off. Who was the winning pitcher in the game Roy Face finally lost?

 

Clarence Nottingham Churn who played for 3 teams in 3 years in the bigs. Pittsburgh, Cleveland and the Dodgers were all on his passport from '57 to '59.

 

In the game versus Roy Face, he was in relief of Sandy Koufax. The game was played on September 11, 1969 at the LA Coliseum. Charlie Neal singled in Junior Gilliam with the winning run in the Dodgers 5-4 win that day.

 

Next Question-------Name the player who once led the league in homers and had less than 100 RBI that season and finished his career with the fewest homers by a player who once led the league in homers.
