Since the Yankee thread has moved towards trivia I thought I'd start a thread just for trivia instead of adding to the Yankee thread more.

I'll post the first question. If you answer correctly, you get to ask the next question.

What short stop holds the record for most consecutive games without an error?

Good Samaritan · « **Reply #1 on:** May 14, 2010, 08:15:30 PM »

Mike Bordick

Sean · « **Reply #2 on:** May 14, 2010, 08:21:42 PM »

Correct.

Sad Fact: In 2002 Mike Bordick led the league in least errors with just 1 while Alex Rodriguez won the Gold Glove with 10 errors. Sad Fact.

Next Question:
Who holds the record for most intentional walks in a season.

HINT

This player played his career throughout the years of 2002-2008.

I'm assuming that would be Mr. Steroids! (Barry Bonds for you who know nothing about baseball except names!)

By the way you do know he started his career in the mid 90's, don't you?

Good Samaritan · « **Reply #5 on:** May 14, 2010, 08:49:36 PM »

Correct!

Yes I was thinking of 1st Q.

Your Turn!

What baseball player has hit homeruns for the most different teams, and how many different teams was it?

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #7 on:** May 14, 2010, 11:54:52 PM »

Julio Franco, 7? Probably not, just taking a stab.

Crashfach2002 · « **Reply #8 on:** May 15, 2010, 10:38:24 AM »

No but I do think he was the oldest man to hit a homer! To make the search a little easier, he played from the 80's through the 2000's!

I'll find a different question if no one has the answer by later today!

Sean · « **Reply #9 on:** May 15, 2010, 11:37:00 AM »

I have a good guess without trying to search for the answer but I wanted to give a few other people a chance since this is only the third question and I asked the first. Also, there are a lot less posts on weekends so you may want to wait longer for a correct response.

redemptioncousin · « **Reply #10 on:** May 15, 2010, 02:24:16 PM »

I would guess Kenny Lofton and I'm guessing 8 teams...

STAMP · « **Reply #11 on:** May 15, 2010, 05:21:21 PM »

I guess Bobby Bonds.

Crashfach2002 · « **Reply #12 on:** May 15, 2010, 05:22:41 PM »

No sirs, still searching!

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #13 on:** May 15, 2010, 05:58:08 PM »

Bobby Bonilla, 8?

STAMP · « **Reply #14 on:** May 15, 2010, 10:21:54 PM »

Okay, had to search for this one and a good thing I did because we would have been stuck on this one forever.

Todd Zeile

I was going to change the question tomorrow, but now I don't have to! By the way for anyone who wanted to know he hit a homerun for 11 different teams!

STAMP · « **Reply #16 on:** May 16, 2010, 12:15:40 PM »

Okay, I'm giving you a doubleheader featuring grand slams:

1) Who hit the first ever grand slam for the American League?

2) Who is the largest man to ever hit an inside the park grand slam?

Spoiler (hover to show)

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #18 on:** May 16, 2010, 12:50:30 PM »

1 is Willy Hoy, the most famous deaf baseball player I know of. Probably because he's the only one I can think of.

Bingo!

I'm necroposting because this seems like a fun thread that I didn't participate in.

@Stamp: Prince Fielder? Actually I don't think his was a grand slam. Tony Gwynn?

STAMP · « **Reply #21 on:** September 07, 2010, 11:48:24 AM »

Fielder and Gwynn are both big boys but not the answer. The answer has been on the DL due to a season-ending injury for the 1st place Padres.

Rawrlolsauce! · « **Reply #22 on:** September 07, 2010, 12:11:36 PM »

Kyle Blanks? I know he hit an inside the park home run either last year or the year before, but I don't think it was a grand slam.

STAMP · « **Reply #23 on:** September 07, 2010, 04:52:18 PM »

Awesome. What top 25 all time pitcher* was awesome enough to try and hit the manager of the Texas Rangers not once, but twice (even once after getting warned), in a very epic game**?
HINT: He was the losing pitcher of said game

.

*More than likely biased
**very epic is up to my discretion. Bias may apply
