Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. This historical team in 1919 rostered the names of Eddie Cicotte, Buck Weaver, Joe Jackson, Swede Risberg, and Red Faber. Which team was it?

Answer: White Sox

The 1919 Major League season left a bad taste and a scar in baseball history, being the season of the infamous 'Black Sox' scandal. Some White Sox players were involved with fixing the World Series against the Reds. Possibly the greatest player in history, Joe Jackson, could never show that he was as he was banned for life in 1920. The Reds won the series.

2. Ed Kranepool, Tommie Agee, Ron Swoboda, Bud Harrelson, and Tom Seaver all played for which 1969 National League team?

Answer: Mets

This was the year of the 'Amazing Mets', who led by Seaver's 25-7 Cy Young season, defeated the Baltimore Orioles in the World Series to take their first series crown after starting their franchise eight seasons earlier. In five of those eight seasons, the Mets had lost more than 100 games in a season. In 1969, they went 100-62.

3. Which 1980 team filled their uniforms with Pete Rose, Bob Boone, Bake McBride, Greg Luzinski, and Mike Schmidt?

Answer: Philadelphia Phillies

Mike Schmidt was a career Phillie. The franchise won its first World Series in 1980 under the helm of Dallas Green. Schmidt hit 48 home runs in the season, then added two in the World Series for MVP honors.

4. This 1953 NL team saw Lew Burdette, Warren Spahn, Bob Buhl, Eddie Mathews, and Joe Adcock. Which team was it?

Answer: Milwaukee Braves

The season saw Spahn, who spent 20 seasons as a Brave, throw a 23-7 record.

5. Which National League team in 1984 had names of Steve Garvey, Eric Show, Rich Gossage, Tony Gwynn, and Graig Nettles?

Answer: Padres

Tony Gwynn was a career San Diego Padre. In 1984, the Padres won the National League pennant, but lost the World Series to the Detroit Tigers.

6. Which 1919 team was rostered with Joe Bush, Herb Pennock, Carl Mays, Waite Hoyt, and Babe Ruth?

Answer: Red Sox

1919 was the last season that Babe Ruth played for the Red Sox before being sold to the Yankees. The Red Sox won the World Series in 1918, but it would be their last until 2004. Ruth led the 1919 club in batting, RBIs, and home runs, while Pennock threw 16 wins.

7. This famous infield in 1907 had the names of Joe Tinker, Johnny Evers, Frank Chance, Harry Steinfeldt, and Solly Hofman. Which team was this?

Answer: Chicago Cubs

None of the other teams existed in 1907. The 1907 Cubs saw their second of three consecutive World Series. The historical double-play combination of Tinkers to Evers to Chance, was complimented by third baseman Harry Steinfeldt. Solly Hofman also played shortstop and first base in the season. The Cubs defeated the Tigers in the series, four games to none with one tie.

8. This AL pennant winner in 1908 rostered the likes of Ty Cobb, Sam Crawford, Red Downs, Ed Summers, and Matty McIntyre. Which team was it?

Answer: Detroit Tigers

The others were all National League teams. Cobb's Tigers that were led by the arm of Summers who went 24-12, lost to the Chicago Cubs in the World Series, four games to one. Cobb led the league in batting with a .324 average, then hit .368 in the series. The following season in 1909, Ty Cobb won his only Triple Crown.

9. This 1976 team was 'machined' with power in the names of Ken Griffey, Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Tony Perez, and Dave Concepcion. Which team was it?

Answer: Reds

The Big Red Machine as the Reds were known, skunked the Yankees in the 1976 World Series. With no pitcher winning more than 15 games, the Reds' bats spoke for themselves. George Foster led the team with 29 home runs. It was the Reds' second consecutive World Series title.

10. Which 1947 National League team rostered Dixie Walker, Duke Snider, Jackie Robinson, Carl Furillo, and Pee Wee Reese?

Answer: Dodgers

Both Reese and Robinson were career Dodgers. Jackie broke baseball's color barrier in 1947, won the Rookie of the Year award, and helped the Dodgers to the World Series against the Yankees. The Yankees stopped Robinson's dream year by defeating the Dodgers four games to three.
