Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What a PIE SHILL to this team who won only one World Series in the 20th century in 1980, even though they won five National League pennants. Which team was this?

Answer: Phillies

Surprisingly, the Phillies won it only once. 1915, 1950, 1980, 1983, and 1993, saw Philadelphia win the National League pennant, but only in 1980 did they take it all. In 1980, Dallas Green's Phillies defeated the Kansas City Royals 4 games to 2. Phillies' Mike Schmidt took the MVP honors.

Answer: Barry Bonds

His first two came in 1990 and 1992 as a Pittsburgh Pirate, then in 1993, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2004 as a San Francisco Giant.

Answer: Ron Guidry

Guidry played his entire career in the American League, and all with the Yankees, where the designated-hitter rule applied, unlike the National League. Ron had no regular season at-bats, but did have seven post season at-bats, still had no hits, and struck out 4 times at the plate. He played his entire career in the pinstripes from 1975-1988.

Answer: Roger Craig

In 1962, Craig went a dismal 10-24 with the Mets. In 1963, Roger did an encore by going 5-22. Trying to top that, Jack Fisher in 1965, 'helped' the Mets by going 8-24. In both the '62 and '65 seasons, the Mets were 40-120, and 50-112, respectively.

5. With some accusations after this player retired, he might have said, "What a GRIM WRECK MA", referring to his career. Who was this player who was the first to hit 70 home runs in a season?

Answer: Mark McGwire

Although Barry Bonds hit 73 in 2001, 'Big Mac' was the first to hit 70 in a season in 1998. The St. Louis Cardinal still lost by 28 first place votes to MVP winner Sammy Sosa of the Cubs in 1998. Mark hit another 65 the following season, and retired in 2001 with 583 career home runs.

Answer: Tommie

Hank, who was 5 years older than brother Tommie, hit 755 career home runs in 23 seasons. Tommie, who played his entire seven-season career with the Braves from 1962-1971, alongside brother Hank, hit only 13 home runs. Tommie died in 1984. Barry Bonds broke Hank Aaron's career record of 755 home runs on August 7, 2007. Barry's father Bobby, hit 332 home runs in his career, retiring in 1981, and died in 2003.

The Bonds hit over 1000 home runs between them.

Answer: Joey Jay

Born in 1935, and at age 12, Joey registered with the Middleton, Conn. Little League program. In 1953, he made his Major League debut with the Milwaukee Braves. At age 17 in his debut, Jay pitched a 3-0 shutout against Cincinnati on July 21, 1953. In 1961, he was traded to the Reds, and had his best season going 21-10, and being 5th in the season MVP voting.

He retired in 1966 with a career record of 99-91.

8. DIGEST TIRE ROT or lose 100 games in a season? This 2003 team decided to lose the 100 games, and was the only one team in the American League to lose 100 in the season. Which team was this?

Answer: Detroit Tigers

At the time the Tigers lost their 100th game, the second worst team in the Majors, the Devil Rays, were still 18 games better than the Tigers, with Detroit winning only 34 games. Upon their 100th loss, the Tigers had no pitchers that had won more than 6 games. Detroit lost 119 in 2003.

Answer: Thurman Munson

Munson was an All-Star 7 of his 11 seasons. His career was cut short in mid-season 1979, when he was killed in a plane crash on August 2nd in Ohio.
