Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which Ron nicknamed 'Penguin' because of his running style, was a third baseman and played most of his career for the Dodgers?

Answer: Cey

Cey began his career in 1971. He spent 12 seasons with the Dodgers until playing for the Cubs, then retired with the Athletics in 1987. Ron was a six-time all-star. This 'Penguin' banged out 316 home runs.

2. This Ron was a bruised one for sure. Seven times he led the league in being hit by a pitch, and set a modern day Major League record in 1971 for being hit 50 times in the season. Who was he?

Answer: Hunt

In 12 seasons, Hunt was passed around the league quite a bit. He played with the Mets, Giants, Dodgers, Cardinals, and Expos. His 1971 beanings broke his own record of 26, set in 1970.

Answer: Perranoski

The familiar number 16 along with the familiar walk from the bullpen, relieved some pitching greats such as Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, Johnny Podres, Claude Osteen, and others.

4. This Chicago Cub third baseman was the third big gun in a trio of home run hitters amongst Ernie Banks and Billy Williams. Who was this Ron that wore the number 10?

Answer: Santo

Santo spent 15 seasons from 1960-1974 in Chicago, including one season with the White Sox. He won five gold gloves and was a nine-time all-star. His 342 home runs combined some big numbers with Banks and Williams.

Answer: Guidry

Guidry was a three-time 20-game winner with the Yankees. His 1978 Cy Young season saw him go an amazing 25-3. He also fanned a season 248. Ron retired in 1988 with a 170-91 record. To show Guidry's greatness, Sandy Koufax retired with a 165-87 record.

6. Which Ron played for six of his nine seasons in a Tiger uniform in the outfield, then one with the Expos, and two with the White Sox?

Answer: LeFlore

LeFlore's career spanned from 1974-1982. Three times he batted over .300, and led the league twice in stolen bases.

7. This outfielding Ron was with the Mets during their worst and greatest time. He batted .400 in the 1969 World Series in which the Mets won. Who was this Ron nicknamed 'Rocky'?

Answer: Swoboda

Ron was with the Mets in 1965 when the team lost 112 games, then became a part of the slow turnaround for the team, helping them to the promised land in 1969 against the Orioles.

Answer: Gant

Gant retired in 1993, then came back in 1995 with the Reds. Gant was passed around the league, playing for the Cardinals, Angels, Rockies, Padres, and Athletics. Ron was a two-time all-star, but neither time with his 1990 season that saw him hit 32 home runs and hit over .300. He retired for the final time in 2003.

Answer: Oester

Playing over 1000 games at second base, Oester also played shortstop and third base. In his only World Series in 1990, Ron had one hit in one at-bat, thus retiring with a 1.000 batting average and slugging percentage in World Series play.

Answer: Darling

1986 saw his Mets in the infamous Bill Buckner series against the Boston Red Sox. Darling went 1-1 in the series with 12 strikeouts in 17-2/3 innings. Amazingly, Ron made the all-star team only one time in 1985, when he went 16-6.
