timwakefield 68 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I posted this question in the general trivia section, but I don't think anybody responded. So come on baseball fans, lets start a trivia section.Looking up answers online is expressly frowned upon, but if you wanna be a little bitch, go ahead. All questions assume "modern era," i.e. no 19th century bullshit. So, who holds the record for batting average by a rookie? Link to post Share on other sites
KowboyKoop 0 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 wow....started off with a hard one..unless I'm just blanking on it or something. It wasn't Ichiro...was it? I don't think it was him..but he hit like .350 or something...so maybe it was?? I'll say Ichiro...but I'm pretty sure I'm wrong. Link to post Share on other sites

timwakefield 68 Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 NONE OF YOU ARE CORRECTIt was Shoeless Joe, who posted a retarted .408 his rookie year.Okay since the dude who got Pete Rose right didn't ask a question (and since nobody actually got mine right) I'll post another. I think this is a bit easier. No cheating.Who holds the record for career total bases? Hint: it's not Pete Rose Link to post Share on other sites

I think this is a bit easier. No cheating.Who holds the record for career total bases? Hint: it's not Pete RoseI think I wanna challenge the Shoeless Joe Jackson answer. Could you please give a link or tell where you got this from, because was he technically a rookie that year..because he was in the MLB for three previous seasons..with 5, 5, and 20 games played those three years. Now, I'm not exactly sure of how a player qualifies as a "rookie," but would he have really been a rookie?? Not saying I really know the answer, but it just seems a bit odd. Here is where I got this info:http://www.baseball-almanac.com/players/pl...php?p=jacksjo01Who holds the batting record for most strikeouts in one season?It is Adam Dunn I think. Didn't he do it like, two or three years ago???Alright, Adam Dunn is correct, so my turn:Who has hit the most career Grand Slams? Link to post Share on other sites

From thebaseballpage.com:"In 1911, as a rookie, he hit .408...."Who has hit the most career Grand Slams?Lou Gehrig am I correct?If I remember right Manny Ramirez is a close 2nd.

KowboyKoop 0 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 20 games doesn't qualify as a rookie season. From thebaseballpage.com:"In 1911, as a rookie, he hit .408...."I understand that. However, I was under the impression that if you played pieces of three seperate years..that you would no longer qualify. Doesn't really matter though, we'll just go with it.Lou Gehrig am I correct?If I remember right Manny Ramirez is a close 2nd. Lou Gehrig is correct. Manny is 3 behind I think. 3 or 4.

timwakefield 68 Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 Koop, here is a better answer to your question about shoeless joe: From experts.com: "Jackson is the only rookie to have batted over .400; he hit .408 for Cleveland in 1911 (although he would not be considered a rookie by today's definition)."So he was a rookie, but today a player in his situation would not be.Okay I got Gehrig right, I'm thinking of a good question.Okay here's one: Name ONE of the top THREE leaders in career WHIP (Walks + Hits per Inning Pitched).I'll give you a hint (because this is harder than it sounds): 2 of them are from the turn of the 20th century, and one of them is still active.Feel free to give 3 answers, since there ARE 3 answers.

The answer is: 1.Addie Joss 2.Ed Walsh and 3.PedroYour turnI figured Pedro would likely be in there...his peak numbers are pretty sick.Alright let's see here...There are two players who are tied for most homeruns hit in the month of September....they hit 17 HR's that month. One of them is Babe Ruth. Who is the other???Hint: Played on a team that is currently in the AL Central and is not an active player. Link to post Share on other sites
