Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. This Hall of Fame great, Ted Williams, played in four different decades with the Boston Red Sox. Which other team did he play for in his 19-season career?

Answer: Ted was a career Red Sox player

Williams retired in 1960, and both the Padres or Blue Jays had not joined Major League baseball yet. Losing a lot of playing time to wars, Williams still won two Triple Crowns and two AL MVPs. His Red Sox career spanned from 1939-1960. His induction was in 1966.

2. Willie Mays was the giant of New York and San Francisco. Hit he 660 career home runs. The last six of his career were with what team?

Answer: Mets

Willie was traded mid-season of 1972 to the Mets, where he retired in 1973. Willie won a NL Rookie of the Year in addition to two NL MVPs. An easy Hall of Fame inductee, the hall took him in 1979.

3. Billy Williams and Cub teammate Ernie Banks combined for many home runs in the 1960s. While Banks played his entire career as a Cub, Williams played his final two seasons with which team?

Answer: Oakland Athletics

After 16 loyal seasons in Chicago and winning the NL Rookie of the Year in 1961, Williams was carted off to Oakland for the 1975 and 1976 seasons. He hit 392 home runs as a Cub, then 34 in Oakland. 1987 saw Billy inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Answer: Los Angeles Dodgers

Rickey never played for the others teams listed. In his second go around with Oakland after a short Yankee stint, Rickey won the AL MVP in 1990. He retired with the most career stolen bases of 1406, with his final three as a Dodger in 2003.

Answer: Twins

In 1986, Steve played with the Phillies, Giants, and White Sox. In 1988 at age 43, his final five of 4136 strikeouts were in a Minnesota uniform. Carlton was a 1994 Hall of Fame inductee.

Answer: Angels

Carew's last batting title was with his last season in a Twins' uniform, as 1979 saw him wearing the Angels' colors. He played for seven seasons as an Angel and retired with a .328 average, an outstanding stat for a modern day player. Rod was a 1991 Hall of Fame inductee.

Answer: Braves

In 1970, the bottom fell out for McLain going only 3-5. With the Senators in 1971, he went 10-22. In 1972, the Athletics traded Denny to the Braves after only five games, where he appeared in another 15, going 3-5 and then retiring.

8. Tom Lasorda managed the Dodgers for 21 seasons before retiring. He also played for the Dodgers as a pitcher. Which team did he retire with as a player in 1956?

His final season was in 1956 with the Kansas City Athletics, appearing in 18 games and going 0-4. Ironically, he replaced his own Brooklyn Dodger manager, Walter Alston, when Alston retired near the end of the 1976 season due to illness in Los Angeles. Tommy took the Dodgers to five World Series, winning three.

9. Through three NL MVPs, third baseman Mike Schmidt made his name in Philadelphia with the Phillies. Which team did the 10-time Gold Glove winner retire with?
