Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Lou Gehrig

Gehrig was the New York Yankee known as the "Iron Horse". Lou played in just 34 games before his record streak of 2130 consecutive games began. He stepped down with 2164 total games, and had 493 home runs to his credit. His MVPs came in 1927 and 1936, and batted for the Triple Crown in 1934 where he finished fifth for the MVP. He stepped down from the game which ended his streak on April 30, 1939, then died in 1941.

Answer: Stan Musial

Musial was a career Cardinal from 1941-1963. He won all his MVPs in the 1940s, in 1943, 1946, and 1948. Stan helped the Cardinals to four World Series, winning three. He hit 475 home runs.

Answer: Lawrence Peter Berra

Nicknamed "Yogi", Berra played from 1946-1963, then in four games in the 1965 season. From 1950-1956, his name was high on every season's MVP ballot. He won the MVP in 1951, 1954, and 1955. Berra hit in triple figures (100+ hits)in 13 seasons. One of the most consistent players in the game, he hit 358 home runs.

Answer: Babe Ruth

Ruth's career is well-documented. He began his career with the Red Sox in 1914 as a pitcher, helped them to the World Series, then was sold to the Yankees. After 15 seasons in the pinstripes, hitting 659 home runs for them, he spent his final season as a Boston Brave in 1935. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1936, then died in 1948.

Answer: Hank Aaron

Hank's season high for home runs was 45 in 1962. After 21 loyal seasons with the Braves, they traded him to the Brewers. He retired with 755 home runs. The saddest thing that happened to Aaron with his remarkable career, is that he hit home run number 713 on the next to last day of the 1973 season, leaving him one home run shy of tying Babe Ruth's record of 714. Throughout the offseason, Hank and his family received death threats and other hate mail if he tied or broke the Babe's record. Aaron endured the offseason, and took care of business on April 8, 1974, hitting number 715. The picture is of Hank Aaron himself.

Answer: Ted Williams

Ted retired with 521 home runs. He missed out on a third Triple Crown in 1949, losing the batting title by .0001 to George Kell of the Tigers. His entire career was spent with the Red Sox.

Answer: Walter Johnson

He threw 110 career shutouts, and was the first pitcher in history to strike out 3000 batters, retiring with 3509. Johnson was one of the first five players inducted into the hall in 1936.

Answer: Rogers Hornsby

Hornsby mainly made his Clark Kent name with the Cardinals from 1915-1926. Three times he batted over .400 with another season at .397.
