Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. During Cal Ripken Jr's consecutive game streak, there was only one year that he didn't lead the league in games played. Who topped him, in which year, and with how many games played?

Answer: Tony Fernandez, 1986 - 163 games

One of baseball's true anomalies. In 1986. the Blue Jays played a game that was tied after five innings which was eventually called due to rain. Because of that, the stats for the game are retained even though the game ends up being replayed. This allowed for Tony Fernandez to play 163 in a 162 game season.

This happens from time to time, but almost never with a player who happened to play in the other 162 regularly scheduled games.

2. Cal Ripken Jr's consecutive game streak began against the Blue Jays.

Answer: True

At Memorial Stadium on May 30, 1982.

3. Cal Ripken's consecutive inning streak ended against the Blue Jays at 8,243 innings.

Answer: True

In a very surprising move, Cal's father Ripken Sr., pulled his son out of the game trailing 18-3 in the 8th inning, in Memorial Stadium against the Toronto Blue Jays on September 14, 1987.

4. Who was the first player to win an individual award with the Blue Jays, and was a co-winner of the 1979 Rookie of the Year Award?

Answer: Alfredo Griffin

Alfredo Griffin hit .287 with 21 SB's, and great defense to split the award with Twins third sacker, John Castino.

9. Who was the first Blue Jay pitcher to win at least 20 games in a season?

Answer: Jack Morris

Jack Morris won 21 games in 1992, as he went 21-6. Jack was fifth in the AL Cy Young voting.

10. Who was the first Blue Jay to lead the American League in home runs?
