Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Jesse Orosco made the all-star team in 1983 and 1984 as a member of the New York Mets. He also pitched for all of the following, except who?

Answer: Seattle Mariners

 Jesse Orosco pitched for nine different teams, in a major league record 1252 games during his 24-year career. Along with pitching for the Mets, Indians, Yankees, and Padres, Orosco also pitched for the Dodgers, Brewers, Orioles, Cardinals, and Twins.
2. 17-time all-star Pete Rose played for 3 teams in his career. Which of the following was not one of them?

Answer: Los Angeles Dodgers

 In the 1970 all-star game, "Charlie Hustle" made arguably his most memorable play when he scored the winning run in the bottom of the 12th inning by viciously colliding into catcher Ray Fosse. Rose retired as a player after the 1986 season having played in more games than anyone (3562), and with more hits than anyone (4256). On suspicion of gambling, Rose was suspended for life from baseball in 1989.
3. 10-time all-star Rickey Henderson played 3081 games with nine different major league clubs, including all of the following except whom?

Answer: Texas Rangers

 Rickey Henderson retired after the 2003 season as the all-time stolen base king with a seemingly insurmountable 1406 swipes. Along with the Jays, BoSox, and Mets, Rickey also played for the A's (on 3 occasions), Yankees, Padres (twice), Angels, Mariners, and Dodgers.
4. Hall of Famer Eddie Murray played in seven of his eight All-Star games in the first half of his career as a member of the Baltimore Orioles. The second half of his career he played for four different teams, including all of the following except who?

Answer: Chicago White Sox

 Along with playing with the Mets, Indians, and Angels, Murray earned his ninth All-Star apperance in 1991 as a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Upon his retirement after the 1997 season, only Mickey Mantle's 536 home runs was more than Murray's 504 as a switch-hitter.
5. Hoyt Wilhelm, another Hall of Famer, played for nine different teams, and made five all-star appearances with three of those teams. Which of the following did Wilhelm not represent in the mid-summer classic?

Answer: Cleveland Indians

 Armed with one of the most devastating knuckleballs, Wilhelm helped revolutionize the save stat. During the '50s and '60s, no one had more than his 210 saves. He also found time to start a few games and throw a no-hitter in 1958. Upon retiring after the 1972 season at the age of 50, he had a then-best 227 saves and 1070 games pitched. Along with the Giants, Orioles, and Braves, Wilhelm also pitched for the Cardinals, Indians, White Sox, Angels, Cubs, and Dodgers.
6. Bert Blyleven, though making only two All-Star teams, had a stellar 22-year career for five different teams. Which of the following was not one of them?

Answer: New York Yankees

 Whenever the debate of elegible non Hall of Famers arises, Bert Blyleven is usually the first player that is mentioned. Some of his lifetime numbers prove a good case: 287 wins, 60 shutouts (was in top five in league 9 times, including leading 3 seasons), and 3701 strikeouts (only led the league once, but was in top five 12 other seasons). Along with pitching for the Twins, Pirates, and Rangers, Blyleven also pitched for the Cleveland Indians and the California Angels.
7. Steve Carlton made ten All-Star appearances for the Cardinals and Phillies in his 24-year career. Released by the Phillies in his 22nd year, "Lefty" bounced around between four other teams for the remaining three seasons. Which of these is not one of those four?

Answer: Cincinnati Reds

 Hall of Famer Steve Carlton finished his career with 329 wins (9th best at the time) and 4136 Ks (second to Nolan Ryan at the time). He was neck and neck with Ryan for the all-time lead in Ks for a while, until injuries took over late in his career. Along with the Twins, Giants, and Indians, he pitched a few games with the Chicago White Sox. Arguably the best lefty of all-time, he was a combined 11-21 with those four teams, a miserable end to an otherwise remarkable career.
8. Hall of Famer Dave Winfield played in 12 consecutive All-Star games, representing the Padres four times, and the Yankees eight. He had a few solid years at the end of his career for all of the following teams, except which?

Answer: Detroit Tigers

 In addition to the Angels, Blue Jays, and Twins, Winfield finished out his career with a sub-par year with the Cleveland Indians. Besides leading the NL in RBI once, he never led the league in any major category, and he never won an MVP, but he had a long, successful career, which included 3110 hits, 1669 runs, 465 home runs, 1833 RBI, and 7 Gold Gloves.
9. Four time All-Star Roger Maris hit 61 home runs for the Yankees in 1961, a single-season record that stood for 37 years. He played for three other teams in his career, excluding which of the following?

Answer: Washington Senators

 In addition to leading the league with 61 home runs, Maris led in runs (132), total bases (366), and RBI (142), all while winning his second consecutive MVP. His previous MVP season (1960), he led the league in slugging (.581), and RBI (112), while hitting .283 with 39 home runs and capturing Gold Glove honors.
10. Having played in Montreal for the first half of his career, 11-time All-Star Gary Carter is the only Expo in the Hall of Fame. "The Kid" played for three other teams in the latter half of his career before his final year back in Montreal. Who did Carter never play for?

Answer: St Louis Cardinals

 Fan-favorite Gary Carter made 7 of his 11 All-Star appearances with the Expos, his other 4 coming with the Mets. He was the first player to have won two All-Star game MVPs, having done so in 1981 and 1984. He also won 3 Gold Glove awards and 5 Silver Sluggers. With what seemed to be a meaningless single, "The Kid" started the no-one-on, 2-out, down-by-2 10th inning rally in the infamous Game 6 of the 1986 World Series against the Red Sox, which the Mets would go on to win in 7 games.
