MLB For Dummies : Average Trivia Questions
61. The great Sandy Koufax retired with what team in 1966?

From Quiz Baseball for Dummies #46

Answer: Los Angeles Dodgers

Born in Brooklyn, this Brooklyn Dodger converted Los Angeles Dodger, played 12 seasons in the Majors. He struck out 200 or more batters 6 times in his career, with a season high of 382. An arthritic elbow forced him to retire, after winning 3 MVPs, 3 Cy Young Awards, and the Triple Crown 3 times.

62. What brothers were the first to face each other, as rookie starting pitchers?

From Quiz Baseball for Dummies #43

Answer: Maddux

63. Nap Lajoie set a 20th century batting average mark, by batting .426 in what year?

From Quiz Baseball for Dummies #40

Answer: 1901

It is ironic because Lajoie played 5 seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies until 1900. In his first season with Connie Mack's Athletics in 1901, he set this almost unreachable mark in history. In 21 seasons, he never hit .400 again, and still retired with an outstanding average of .338.

64. Who led the Major League in home runs in 1961?

From Quiz Baseball for Dummies #37

Answer: Roger Maris

1961 was the year that the famous asterik in baseball was created. Maris broke the Babe's home run record by hitting 61 big ones in a 162 game season, versus Ruth's 60 in a 154 game season.

65. Who led the 2002 Chicago Cubs in home runs?

From Quiz Baseball for Dummies #36

Answer: Sammy Sosa

Sammy hit 49 for the Cubbies in 2002, 19 more than team runner-up, Fred McGriff. The others listed were not Cubs.

66. The 2002 World Series saw the San Francisco Giants hit 14 home runs. What Giant hit the most?

From Quiz Baseball for Dummies #35

Answer: Barry Bonds

Although Glaus hit 3, he was an Angel. Giant Jeff Kent hit 3 big ones for the Giants, but it was Bonds who stole the show by hitting 4. The Angels hit 7 four-baggers in the Series, that the Angels won 4 games to 3.

67. Who was the shortest person ever to play in Major League baseball?

From Quiz Baseball for Dummies #34

Answer: Eddie Gaedel

This is a statistic that will not change in baseball history. The tallest person listed is Yogi at 5'8", and with Rizzuto at 5'6", and Albie at 5'5", they tower over Eddie Gaedel who was 3'7". He appeared in only one Major League game in 1951 as a St.Louis Brown. It was a fiasco, as he was put in the game to draw a walk. It was his only appearance in baseball. Btw, he did draw the walk.

68. Yogi Berra was born to the name of what?

From Quiz Baseball for Dummies #33

Answer: Lawrence Peter Berra

Yogi was born on May 12, 1925, in St.Louis. He began his baseball career at the age of 21 in 1946 as a Yankee. 18 seasons later, he was a New York Met, where he played his final 4 games in his career. This 5'8", 194lb player, smacked out 358 lifetime home runs.

69. What was the most number of home runs, that Lou Gehrig hit in a season?

From Quiz Baseball for Dummies #32

Answer: 49

Gehrig popped for 49 twice in his career with the Yankees. 1934 was the first time he hit 49, and he won the Triple Crown that season. 1936 saw him do it again, and he won the MVP that season. In 17 seasons, he hit 493 career home runs.

70. What pitcher threw the first World Series perfect game?

From Quiz Baseball for Dummies #30

Answer: Don Larsen

Larsen threw the perfecto in the 1956 World Series on October 8th. The Brooklyn Dodgers were unfortunately at the other end of Larsen's arm in game 5. Mantle helped the cause with a solo home run. In 10 World Series appearances, Larsen has a record of 4-2. By the way, the Yankees won the Series 4 games to 3.

71. How many World Series did the St.Louis Browns win?

From Quiz Baseball for Dummies #27

Answer: 0

The Browns began in 1902 under the management of Jimmy McAleer. The franchise began a year earlier, under the name of the Milwaukee Brewers. The Browns went to the World Series only once in their entire era from 1902 to 1953. That magic year was 1944 when they won the American League pennant. They however, lost the World Series to the St.Louis Cardinals 4 games to 2. In 1954 they became the Baltimore Orioles.

72. Who was the first player to get the nickname, "Hammerin Hank"?

From Quiz Baseball for Dummies #22

Answer: Hank Greenberg

Greenberg began his Major League career 24 years earlier than Hank Aaron. They both had the nickname, "Hammerin Hank", and both were very deserving of the nickname.

From Quiz Baseball for Dummies #20

74. Who was known as the "Say Hey Kid"?

From Quiz Baseball for Dummies #19

Answer: Willie Mays

Willie Mays, the great San Franciscan Giant, blasted 660 home runs in his career. 2 of those came with the New York Mets in his final season.

75. Who was the first player to hit over 50 home runs in a season in the history of baseball?

From Quiz Baseball for Dummies #18

Answer: Babe Ruth

Ruth hit 54 in 1920 with the Yankees. This was his first season in the pinstripes, after he left Boston. He hit 29 with the 1919 Boston club. To top his 1920 season, the Babe hit 59 in 1921. He would still have two more seasons of smacking more than 50 in a season before he retired.

76. Who was the pinch-hitter that made baseball history, in his only Major League at-bat appearance?

From Quiz Baseball for Dummies #17

Answer: Eddie Gaedel

Eddie was the 3'7" pinch hitter, that St.Louis Brown owner Bill Veeck put in the ballgame to try and draw a walk. This day in 1951 was Eddie's only baseball appearance. He walked, therefore his official at-bat was defunct.

77. How many times did the great Ernie Banks win a Rookie of the Year award throughout his career of 19 seasons?

From Quiz Real Dummies Baseball #12

Answer: 0

Mr. Cub never won the ROY. His rookie year was in 1953 in Chicago and was always a Cub for 19 seasons. Jim 'Junior' Gilliam won the award in 1953 with the Brooklyn Dodgers.
