shoelessjoelives Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 In trying to confirm or update the answer to my question about which teams stay at the Wyndham, I was told "Some of the teams stay there but we are not allowed to disclose who stays here and who doesn't"........... How bout the next question being....."What player has hit .500 or better in more than one World Series ( with a minimum of 10 AB's in a Series) ?"

The correct answer is Lou Gehrig, who hit .500 or better in 2 World Series. In 1928 and in 1932 Lou hit .545 ( 6 for 11 in'28 and 9 for 17 in '32).

shoelessjoelives Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 With two on and the Giants trailing 4-2 in the bottom of the ninth, Ralph Branca delivers the pitch to Bobby Thomson of the Giants. The most famous words in baseball history are uttered by Russ Hodges........."and the Giants win the pennant, the Giants win the pennant, the Giants win the pennant". The greatest call in sport on October the 3rd of 1951 !! _Next Question_ Who was on deck for the Giants when Thomson's "shot was heard round the world" ? (Actually, the Greatest Game Ever Played was given to the football game played on December 28, 1958 as the New York Giants and Baltimore Colts faced off for the NFL Title.) :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
