Doh, Gossage - another guy who traipsed his way through a (very) short tenure in the 'Stick. 

Otherwise, Bob, I was looking back at previous posts on this ? - didn't Mick get the last guy in post #1216?

RE: Sports trivia thread 2025 - BobK - 01-22-2026

Thank you I never saw his post. The Duke of Flatbush. Duke Snider yes
That’s it

I mentioned Gossage and Snider earlier.

I was off by a year with Schoendienst. He played for the Giants in 1956 and 1957, the years before they moved west. He's not remembered as an offensive stud, but he led the league with 200 hits that year.

Not always; sometimes Stanford is the #1 seed. Sometimes someone else knocks the #1 seed off before Stanford.
