Kelly Downes, Trevor Wilson?

What Five Families capo was known in Cosa Nostra circles as “Three Finger Brown,” named because he resembled the Hall of Fame pitcher.


RE: Sports trivia thread - Papa John - 03-30-2021

Phogge gets the second starter to pitch an immaculate inning for the SF Giants.

Another hint for the reliever: he was the winning pitcher in the fourth and clinching World Series game versus Detroit.


RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 03-31-2021

I think Casilla was the winner and Romo the save or perhaps the other way round.

The gangster known as Three Finger Brown was Tommy Lucchese. The family is now known as the Lucchese Family. More later.

On Thursday, Posey, Crawford and Belt will join these five players as the only SF Giants to have started ten Openers (non-consecutive).  Who are they?


RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 04-01-2021

Mays, McCovey, Bonds, Davenport,

Robby Thompson


RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 04-01-2021

Mays, Bonds, McCovey, Bobby bonds, Posey


RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 04-01-2021

Bobbbbb... Bobby didn’t play 10 years with the Giants and the poster said five PLUS Posey, Belt and Crawford.


RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 04-01-2021

Bobby 68-75.

Ok Mays
Mccovey
Barry
?
?


RE: Sports trivia thread - Phogge - 04-01-2021

I think Davenport. Started as a rookie in '58. As a MOF he was the Giants leadoff hitter in the first West Coast game, 1958. I know you know that Cimoli was the first hitter. What was the result of his at bat and where did he go to high school?

I am not so sure about Robbie Thompson but I can't think about anybody else.


RE: Sports trivia thread - BobK - 04-01-2021

The interesting thing about Cimoli is the Dodgers had him bat lead off because he was from SF.
Was it Joe Angel’s HS?
A K?

10 starts
Will Clark
Rich Arilia

Four out of five...

Mays, McCovey, Thompson and Barry Bonds.  

No one one has mentioned #5.

Phogge is correct  with Casilla--and Romo did get the save and the cover of Sports Illustrated.

You got it....

By the way, of the eight guys, only four, Mays, Thompson, Crawford and Bonds made ten consecutive opening day starts at the same position.

Today, a college player hit 7(!) home runs in a double header (the last of which was a grand slam).  Who hold (there are two) the record for most home runs in a doubleheader in the major leagues?  What was their connection?

Musial was one.

Nate Colbert. Funny that I knew about him but didn't know that Musial did it.


RE: Sports trivia thread - BostonCard - 04-03-2021

What was the connection between the two?
