Hall of Famer Burleigh Grimes may have been the greatest spit baller of all time.

Beradino, lifetime .249 mostly with Browns. Indians and Pirates too.

Saved some lives on the long running soap. Also had a few romances.

Boone went to Stanford, dropped out and worked on an oil rig.

The 40 year decision. To be a gunfighter.

I thought Eddie Waitkus was the inspiration; I didn't know there was another one.

Chicago Cub Billy Jurges was shot by showgirl Violet Popovich in a hotel room in 1932. He later went on to manage the Red Sox.

The Baseball Writers Assoc. took over the voting for each League’s MVP in 1931. To date three relief pitchers have won the award in the AL and only one reliever has won the NL award. Name them.

Konstanty‘s last team?

Bobbbbb, you keep Big Red alive with your spelling.

RE: Sports trivia thread - jfredmuggs - 06-23-2021

Konstanty’s last team was the Seals. I saw him pitch in 1957.

Going to guess:
NL: Lee Smith
AL: Dennis Eckersley, Rollie Fingers, Mariano Riviera

The only one I am sure about is Eckersley, who won in 92.  I can't imagine Riviera didn't win the MVP, but I can't remember a year that he would have won it.  Smith had a three year period where he was dominant for St. Louis, though I'm not sure if he won the MVP any of the years.

Konstanty. NL
Fingers and Eck but the third is someone I never would have gotten

Willie Hernandez is the missing MVP in place of Rivera, who never won the Cy Young or MVP, but was a unanimous Hall of Famer as consolation.
