Barry Bonds? Or maybe Bobby Bonds?
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 04-25-2023
Not a 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.
Quote: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.
DH - Edgar Martinez?
RF - Dave Winfield?
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - PAsportsfan - 04-25-2023
I remember seeing Jose Canseco in front of his "sporty" Jaguar with a front license plate 30-30.
Jose is my best guess.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 04-25-2023
Not Jose Sorry
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - cardcrimson - 04-25-2023
Rickey
Dang. Looked it up, he had 28 twice, but not thirty.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 04-25-2023
Remember it’s 30 steals and 50 HRs
The first 30-30 guy was in the 1930s or close. Something Williams if irc
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - cardcrimson - 04-25-2023
In 1990, Bonds had 52 steals and 33 homers, and the only other player to accomplish the feat. . . .

Hmmm....Mantle?
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 04-25-2023

Bob, it was Ken Williams.
An aside… Bobby Bonds was nearly the first 40-40 player. He had 39 HRs and 43 SB’s in 1973. If he had not been robbed of an HR at Candlestick by a Reds OF who made a spectacular catch, he would have been the first, an achievement that was accomplished by Canseco in 1988.
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 04-25-2023
Cincy Reds is a hint

Thought it was 30 HRs and 50 steals as mentioned a few posts earlier.

P - Not yet guessed, but not easy. Hint given above. Teams were Astros, Mets, Rockies, & Braves. 5 Silver Sluggers
C - Piazza with 10
1B - Goldschmidt with 5
2B - Sandberg with 7
3B - Boggs with 8
SS - Larkin with 9
LF - Bonds with 12
CF - Trout with 7 (tied with a HoF player who won 7 in the AL in the 90's and played through 2010 mostly in the NL)
RF - Not guessed yet. A HoF player won 8 - 3 in the AL('99-'02) and 5 in the NL('04-'10)
Another OF won 9 ('95-'06) as a RF for one team then as a LF for a different team.
DH - Not guessed yet. A HoF player with 7 ('04-'16)

I always liked Mays comment - If I knew it was important, I’ve have done it.
Cesar Geronimo?
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 04-25-2023
Not Cesar. But the great Eric Davis
I should have hinted former Giant where he played his final season

And Mays was spot on with that comment……

Saw Davis score from first base on a thrown away pickoff. He could fly. And he was a great player.
BTW - my César Gerónimo reference was to the Red that robbed Bobby Bonds of 40th HR.

He sure was. For instance, Mays hit four home runs in a game. Only 16 other players have done so. Can you name them?
RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - PAsportsfan - 04-26-2023
Mike Schmidt
Dave Kingman?
Luis Pujols?
