MLB Difficult Trivia Questions
31. What pitcher lost the first ever World Series game in 1903?

From Quiz Baseball Mixture

Answer: Cy Young

He played for the Boston Americans that season and the team ended up winning the series against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

32. Which Yankee pitcher in 1950s World Series play, started game two in a loss, started and won game five, saved game six from the bullpen, then won game seven in relief also?

From Quiz Baseball: Hardball Style

Answer: Bob Turley

It was the 1958 series against the Milwaukee Braves. Turley started 31 games in the season, and appeared in only two in relief. He went 21-7 to win the Cy Young award, and went 2-1 to win the series MVP award. The Yankees won four games to three.

33. Nearing the end of his career, Steve Carlton was a Cleveland Indian, and had already won 300 games in his career. In July 1987, the Indians traded Steve to which team that he would retire with?

From Quiz Pinch of This and That

Answer: Minnesota Twins

Carlton played from 1965-1988. In his final season as a Twin, he appeared in only four games with a 0-1 record. Steve won four Cy Young awards with the Phillies, and also threw a Triple Crown. His career record was 329-244.

34. Who was the first pitcher in history to throw a no-hitter for an expansion team?

From Quiz How's Your Stuff?

Answer: Bo Belinsky

Belinsky of the Los Angeles Angels threw his no-no in the second season of the Angels' franchise on May 5, 1962. Bo went 10-11 in the season, but had his stuff on that day against the Baltimore Orioles, winning 2-0. Ironically, Belinsky led the American League in walks in 1962 also, walking 122 batters.

35. Who was the first player to hit 40 home runs in a season in both the American and National League?

From Quiz Oxygen Tank Baseball

Answer: Darrell Evans

While playing with the Atlanta Braves in 1973, Darrell hit 41 home runs. After a few seasons with the Giants, he signed as a free agent in December 1983 with the Tigers. In 1985, he hit another 40 in Detroit. Evans played for 21 seasons, and retired in 1989 with 414 big ones.

36. Nolan Ryan would throw an amazing seven no-hitters in his Hall of Fame career. More amazing, he threw his first and seventh almost 18 years apart. Which team was his seventh and final victim?

From Quiz Strong Scented Baseball

Answer: Toronto Blue Jays

Nolan's no-hitter span ran from 1973-1991. He just threw stikes in-between. Ryan never won a MVP or Cy Young in his great career. On this day of his seventh no-hitter as a Texas Ranger in 1991, the Blue Jays' Roberto Alomar was the 44-year old Ryan's final victim, retiring him with his 16th and final strikeout of the game. Nolan retired with 5714 strikeouts, a record not likely to be touched. The hall took Ryan in 1999.

37. Which player had the distinction of having the highest season batting average in the 1980s?

From Quiz Concrete on the Diamonds

Answer: George Brett

Brett was a career Royal for 21 seasons. In 1980, George battted .390. It would be the second of three batting titles that he won. Tony Gwynn came closer to the .400-plateau by batting .394, but that was in 1994 with the Padres. Boggs' career high was also in the 1980s, batting .366 in 1988 with the Red Sox. Rod Carew of the Twins and Angels, won seven batting titles in his career, but never batted over .340 in the 1980s.

38. What brothers set a combined record for having over 5600 hits in their careers?

From Quiz 100 MPH Baseball

Answer: Lloyd and Paul Waner

The Waner brothers played beside each other in the Pirate outfield from 1927-1940. Combined, they crossed the plate 2828 times with Paul scoring 1627 and Lloyd 1201 times, setting another record for a two-brother combination. They still even had scored more runs than the others listed. Paul was a 1927 NL MVP with his 237 hits. Lloyd, a rookie in 1927 had 223 hits. The Waner's also retired with the most hits of any brother combination with a combined 5611. Both were later inducted into the Hall of Fame.

39. Who was the first player in history to win three season MVP awards?

From Quiz How About That!

Answer: Jimmie Foxx

The others won two in their career. Jimmie Foxx won two with the Athletics in 1932 and 1933, then his third with the Boston Red Sox in 1938. Foxx also hit for the Triple Crown in 1933. Foxx missed out on the Triple Crown in 1932, batting just .003 behind Dale Alexander of the Red Sox. An easy Hall of Fame inductee in 1951, Foxx was inducted along with Mel Ott of the Giants.

40. Which shortstop was the first to steal 100 bases in a season?

From Quiz Baseball Challenged?

Answer: Maury Wills

The others weren't shortstops. Wills of the Dodgers broke Ty Cobb's record of 96 set in 1915. Maury was the first player ever to top the 100-mark for thefts in a season in 1962. Wills won six consecutive stolen base titles from 1960-1965. He retired with 586.

41. May 26, 1959, saw a tremendous pitching battle between the arms of Pittsburgh Pirate Harvey Haddix and Milwaukee Brave Lew Burdette. Haddix had a perfect game going into the 13th inning, then lost the game due to whose double?

From Quiz Baseball Challenges

Answer: Joe Adcock

Burdette of the Milwaukee Braves also pitched this complete 13-inning game. While Haddix ended up with a one-hitter loss, Burdette took the shutout win, allowing 12 hits with two strikeouts in the game. Adcock doubled home Felix Mantilla, who walked earlier in the 13th for the Braves' win.

42. Which was the first team to wear plastic batting helmets voluntarily?

From Quiz BBB: Brain-Buster Baseball

Answer: Brooklyn Dodgers

The Dodgers did this in 1941. After a few sporadic beanings, the Dodgers were fed up when both Pee Wee Reese and Pete Reiser were both beaned in the same day. Maybe the security helped as they went 100-54 in the season, but lost to the Yankees in the World Series.

43. When the Detroit Tigers began their American League franchise in 1901, what were their uniform colors?

From Quiz Electro-Shock Baseball: Treament 2

Answer: Orange and black

The Tigers, only for a couple of weeks in 1901 wore the orange and black in their Major League inauguration. Being as how the original franchise in the earlier National League prior to 1900 were named the 'Wolverines', they wore the orange and black thing. The fans wanted the 'cat' colors of orange and black as the previous Wolverines' were, that represented a bengal tiger. The owners of the franchise changed it quickly to the white and black jerseys as still were seen in 2005. From 1907-1909, the Tigers in their white and black uniforms went to the World Series three consecutive times, but lost them all, twice to the Cubs and once to the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Tigers won their first World Series in 1935 against the Cubs, four games to two. In that 1935 World Series, the Tigers were led by the arm of Tommy Bridges who won two of the four games, and batters Pete Fox and Charlie Gehringer. Tiger Hank Greenberg hit one home run which was his only hit, and batted only .167 in the series.

44. Who was the first pitcher in history to give up 500 home runs in their career?

From Quiz Hard Rock Baseball

Answer: Robin Roberts

Roberts played most of his 19-season career with the Phillies. He gave up 505 home runs. Ryan, who spent 27 seasons in the Majors only gave up 321 in his career. Young, who pitched when home runs were not a commodity, let 138 go over in 22 seasons. Blyleven, who set a record for allowing 50 in a season in 1986, allowed 430 in his 22 seasons.

45. What major league player hit the first regular season home run in a baseball game held outside the United States?

From Quiz Baseball and More Baseball

Answer: Mack Jones

Mack Jones was playing for the Montreal Expos during their inaugural 1969 season. The Expos hosted the 1968 National League champion St. Louis Cardinals in their first game, and beat them 8-7 at Jarry Park.

46. Owner Bill Veeck, known for his antics and promotionals, the Eddie Gaedel incident being one of them, pulled off a crazy promo on opening day in 1961 at Wrigley Field. What was it?

From Quiz Weird Moments in Baseball

Answer: He hired all midgets as vendors

Veeck figured that his new vendors would not block the view of fans while they sold their items. However, he didn't figure on the weight of the trays versus the strength of the vendors, and by the end of the game, beer and soda had flooded every aisle. Announcer Jack Brickhouse said it was the strangest thing he had ever seen.

47. After playing for over 50 seasons in the Major League, the St. Louis Browns became the Baltimore Orioles in 1954. What was the franchise's original name?

From Quiz Trivial Baseball

Answer: Milwaukee Brewers

The franchise began in 1901 with the newly formed American League. After a last place finish and only 48 wins, the team moved to St. Louis for a fresh start in 1902. The team had a second place finish to the Philadelphia Athletics. As the Browns, their only World Series appearance was in 1944, but lost to the crosstown rival Cardinals, four games to two. 1966 saw the franchise's first World Series crown, skunking the Dodgers in four games.

48. In 1964, Major League baseball enacted a rule, stating that all base runners must face the base they are trying to encounter. Which Major League player caused the enactment of this rule?

From Quiz Whew!

Answer: Jimmy Piersall

On June 23, 1963, the Los Angeles Angel Piersall, hit his 100th career home run. Keeping up his antics of the past, he ran the bases backwards. Major League baseball did not like the mockery, and created the rule the following year.

49. Which team lost the World Series in 1971?

From Quiz A Blurb of Baseball #2

Answer: Baltimore Orioles

The Orioles would lose the series in seven games to the Pittsburgh Pirates that year, and the series MVP was Roberto Clemente.

50. Which player's home run in the 1954 World Series, gave his team a game one win?

From Quiz Visine Baseball

Answer: Dusty Rhodes

The 1954 World Series pitted the Cleveland Indians vs the New York Giants. With the game tied at the end of nine innings, Rhodes of the Giants came up in the bottom of the 10th innning, and hit a three-run shot against Indian pitcher Bob Lemon. Rhodes hit another home run in game two for the Giants in another win. The Giants won the Series, four games to none.

51. Who was the first pitcher to win 3 games in a World Series that lasted only 5 games?

From Quiz Not for Baseball Dummies 3

Answer: Christy Mathewson

The New York Giants, defeated the Philadelphia Athletics 4 games to 1. Mathewson won games 1, 3, and 5. All 3 victories were shutouts thrown by Mathewson. His ERA was 0.00, and he struck out 18 batters. Teammate Joe McGinnity won game 4 with a shutout of his own.

52. What player ran backwards around the bases, when he hit his 100th career home run?

From Quiz Not for Baseball Dummies #2

His antics were documented in baseball, including spraying an umpire with a water pistol after being called out on strikes. He hit his 100th home run in 1963 in a New York Met uniform. This was his second of three teams that season. He later wrote a book titled, "Fear Strikes Out".
