3B - Boggs or Beltre

CF - Trout
1B - Pujols
C - Rodriguez
LF - Bonds

Some very good guesses!
Boggs - yes, with 8 (Beltre had 3)
Ripken had 8 - trailing the SS leader by 1.  A-Rod had 10 total - but 3 at 3B, so technically not the SS leader.
Pujols had 4 - trailing the 1B leader by 1.
Pudge had 7 - trailing the C leader by 3.
Bonds leads all outfielders with 12.
Among centerfielders, Trout is tied for the lead with 7.

McGwire at 1B?

RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - terry - 04-24-2023

More guesses -

SS - If not Ripken or A. Rodriguez, then my next guesses are Jeter or Larkin
1B - Not Pujols, so maybe Bagwell?
C - Since it's not Rodriguez, then Piazza?
2B - Alomar or Sandberg

RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - skip75 - 04-24-2023

We now have 2B (Sandberg), 3B (Boggs), SS (Larkin), C (Piazza) and OF (Bonds).  

Silver Sluggers do not differentiate between LF, CF, and RF - there are 3 in each league per season among all OFs.  If we differentiate, Bonds is the leader in LF, we already have Trout as a co-leader in CF.  There are 2 RFs with 7 each and one OF with 8 who spent some time in LF and some in RF.

Other than finishing off the OF, still looking for 1B (a current player), P (won 5 in 5 seasons, 1999-2003, pitching with 4 different NL teams), and DH (obviously an AL player as NL only added the DH recently).

Last year was the first to include a utility player among the Silver Slugger winners - so Luis Arraez & Brandon Drury are tied for the lead in that category with 1 each.

1B Freeman or Goldschmidt?

Goldschmidt is correct with 5!  Freeman has 3.  Pretty competitive position - lots of top hitters, so hard to pile up the big number of awards as some players at other positions.

All three answers are correct -- Rodriguez (13 GGs), Bonds (8 GGs), and Alomar (10 GGs).

Well done, everyone!

Now I can post this.

Babe Ruth
Catfish Hunter
Oil Can Boyd
Blue Moon Odom
Satchel Paige

RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - cardcrimson - 04-24-2023

Great knowledge! I'll give you partial credit for Campy, as it's Dagoberto. Bert is a nickname too. Edward "Whitey" Ford. Extra credit for Dizzy, he was Jay Hanna, but also known as Jerome Herman. . . .
