Lith Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 1 hour ago, The Crimson King said: I knew that one and was giving others a chance. Vida Blue. CY, MVP but not ROY because he came up at 19 for a bit and had too much MLB time to qualify. His name came up a lot on '84 when Doc showed up I should have known that one, just could not get out of the mindset of thinking offensive players for MVPs. Was about to guess Mike Trout, also thought about Fred Lynn & Mel Ott, but I don't think Ott ever won an MVP Thanks for saving me the indignity of a couple more wrong answers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2003 the Marlins beat the Yankees in 6.

Leaves Braves, Cubs and Phillies. Doubt it's Braves. Leaves Cubs or Phillies. Since Phillies choked away the pennant in 1964, go with the Cubs. It was the Phillies. 47-107 for the year, really bad pitching and no Bunning, Short or Richie (back then) Allen. IIRC (well at least from Strat-o-Matic), Pancho Herrera was their best hitter. The '64 team was indeed interesting but not a strong as Cincinnati or St. Louis. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Remaining unanswered/partially answered questions: 3) It's well known that Babe Ruth hit the first ever All-Star game HR in 1933. But what National League hitter blasted the 2nd and 3rd HR's in All-Star game history, in back to back years (1933 and '34)? 4) Name the only World Series MVP for a team that LOST the World Series. 5) The 2019 Astros became the 4th team in MLB history to win 3 straight World Series games yet still lose the series. Can you name the 3 other teams that did it previously? Answered partially correct by @section314 : 2001 Yankees 6) Mike Trout hit the most HR's for 1 team in the 2010s, with 285. Who was next, with 272? Answered correctly by @Lith: Jose Bautista 8 ) 3 Expos/Nationals have hit 40+ HR's in a season in franchise history. Vlad Guerrero did it twice, and most recently Bryce Harper accomplished the feat in 2015. But who hit the most HR's in a season in franchise history, with 46?

Hint for # 5: In one of these World Series in question, Todd Worrell picked up 2 Saves. In the other, 2 Saves were earned by Rick Aguilera. Aguilera also earned a Win and was saddled with a Loss in the series. Hint for # 6: This player (no longer active) spent career primarily with 2 teams (4.5 seasons with one, 9.5 seasons with another), but also played 1 year or less with 6 other teams: Orioles, Rays, Royals, Braves, Mets and Phillies. Hint for # 8: This hitter also joined the 40-40 club (41 SB) in that 2006 season, making him just the 4th and most recent player in MLB history to accomplish the feat.

If not Ducky, then it had to be Frankie Frisch. Pretty sure they were the only two HOFers in the Cards starting lineup in early 30s. Hornsby would have been a Cub by then. If not Frisch, I am stumped. 4 -- Lost track of the questions. Thought this was a team that won 3 straight. Not sure who the MVP was -- I know Bobby Richardson went off in a Series.
