NO CHEATING!

Here is a trivia question I was asked the other day. I could only come up with two, so I had to go home and look up the remaining answers. Here's the question:

There are seven (7) players in MLB history who have hit 35 or more home runs in a single season, AND have 10 or more letters in their last name.

Name them (or as many as you can).

Knew there was an Italian

After some thought I realized Tony Conigliaro hit a bunch before the angels signed him, then I beleive he took a bad hit in the head.

But I give up.

Howie Kendrick has done something that Adam Kennedy has done just once in his 70+something starts at 2b, what is it?

oh bother

screw that damned "statistical relevance"!! ;-)

by ladybug on Jul 16, 2006 5:06 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

two doubles in one game?

Or three hits in a game?

Also impressive with Kendrick is that each of his three hits were spread amongst right, center, and left fields.

by johnnyangel101 on Jul 16, 2006 3:58 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

two

xtra base hits in a game

I saw Dave Concepcion PITCH once

in a blowout game - the Dodgers were killing the Reds. Pete Rose was the manager, i think he threw the game on purpose, left the starter in too long to pay back his bookies.
