Four players have played in more MLB All Star games than their total seasons played. Name them.

There were 2 All-Star games per year in 1959-62, so must be players from that era - Stan Musial & Mickey Mantle?

Follow up question - why were there two all-star games played in those years?

Can I play? I just read an article on it, hence the trivia question.
Yes, Aaron, Mays, Musial, and Mantle.

I believe that somewhere in the 226 page book of regulations that govern The Cardboard Trivia is a subsection that pertains to your query. However, my recollection is somewhat hazy. Anyway, I think it stated that reading about stuff prior to seeing a question posted is entirely acceptable. Go for it!

Pensions. The MLB Players retirement fund needed funding, so proceeds from the extra game went to help fund the program.

If I counted right, there have been 27 triple crowns in MLB history. Four players have won it more than once, who were they?
Who won a triple crown with the lowest batting average (.316)?
Who won a triple crown with the fewest home runs (4! back in 1878)?
Who won a triple crown with the fewest RBIs (32)?

More than one triple crown -- Rogers Hornsby, Ted Williams?

Yes and yes. Hornsby in 1922 and 1925; Williams in 1942 and 1947.
Two more (one in the Negro League and one in the Eastern Colored League/Negro League).

I cheated and looked it up, and am puzzled. One source shows 14 triple crown winners, the other shows 15. Hugh Duffy in 1894 being the additional one. Only two won it twice, too. . . .Am I missing a distinction? Pitching triple crown, too?
Figured it out. You're a sly one. .. . .
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - terry - 03-13-2023
Lowest batting average -- Carl Yastrzemski?
Fewest homers -- Cap Anson?

Yes, 1936 and 1937 Negro National League. Missing one, not Nap Lajoie (who won it in 1901).
Yastremski was close but not quite the lowest; he hit .326 in 1967.
Cap Anson didn't win the triple crown.
And card crimson, I wasn't trying to be sly; my source (baseball-reference.com) included the Negro Leagues.

That was the third source that popped up for me. Part of trivia is being sly, was giving you credit. . . .

Since 1896, 10 sports have been eliminated from the Olympics. Which sports were eliminated?

We know Tug of War was one. I believe that Baseball and Softball are a couple of others.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BostonCard - 03-13-2023
Didn’t baseball and softball come back? I think it’s a bunch of obscure sports. Maybe horse polo?
