Yes. 112 walks. Highest in his career. .425 OBP. Also stole 23 bases.  He was 40.  It was his last good year.

BCe


RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 06-16-2022

Jesse Orosco.


RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 06-16-2022

In 1954 I went 10-3 with a 2.07 ERA in Class C baseball. Born in Stanford Hospital and hung around Palo Alto and San Jose a lot.

Who am I?


RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 06-16-2022

Ah yes. Once an Oak?


RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 06-16-2022

You are disqualified. He did a good job at Stanford actually smiling once in awhile unlike his predecessor. He was a very good mentor to young Cavalli, who in turn was a very good mentor to Bob Rose.

Bob Murphy?


RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 06-16-2022

Bullet Bob. Yep.


RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 06-17-2022

Murph was always smiling having fun at the old council of Chiefs meetings. Of course some strange interview questions like the Frosh football player born about 1982 Murph asked “how excited were when we landed on the moon”.
Great guy


RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 06-17-2022

BC must be busy with mega deals.

Looked it up finally. Orosco correct.

In years played at the MLB level what player has the longest service?


RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 06-17-2022

Many years ago Ted Williams named his three favorite hitters. Of course he always thought he was the best but he wasn't that egomaniacal to list himself.

Who were the top three, in order?


RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BobK - 06-17-2022

Joe DiMaggio

Well most years my lifetime.
Nolan Ryan
Tommy John amazingly right there after he had Tommy John surgery

Yeah, sorry. I figured since you nailed it quickly, you already knew the answer. Nice job.

RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - Phogge - 06-17-2022

Ted Williams:

1 Babe Ruth
2 Lou Gehrig
3 Jimmy Foxx

Longest serving: 27 years
1 Nolan Ryan
2 Cap Anson


RE: Sports trivia thread 2022 - BostonCard - 06-22-2022

Congratulations, sort of, to Shohei Ohtani, who became the fifth player to record 8 RBI in a game his team lost. Who were the previous four?

BC

As an aside, how is it that the Angels have Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani, and still kind of suck? Angels are 34-38 despite having two generational players.
