Bob is correct, the pitcher born in the Netherlands, also the sixth and final answer to Bob's trivia question: Bert Rikaalbert Blyleven. Blyleven is 5th in strikeouts (3,701), 8th in HRs allowed (430), and 9th in shutouts (60).

The other is none other than former Dodger Don Sutton, 5th in HRs allowed (472), 7th in strikeouts (3,574), and 10th in shutouts (58).

Only two other players have homered in their first two at bats, who were they?

Got buried, but if anyone was curious, the answers were Bob Nieman (1951), Keith McDonald (2000).  Nieman had a 12-year journeyman career that ended with the Giants.  McDonald had a short (2 year) MLB career who only had one other home run.

Hints about the last two -- One of them played mostly in the 1980s and 1990s, while the other one played after 2000. They played the same primary position. Both were the Rookie of the Year.


RE: Sports trivia thread 2025 - BobK - 08-21-2026

Derek Jeter


RE: Sports trivia thread 2025 - Mick - 08-22-2026

A-Rod

Ken Griffey Jr.


RE: Sports trivia thread 2025 - BobK - 08-22-2026

Someone guessed Robin Yount but I don’t see it


RE: Sports trivia thread 2025 - terry - 08-22-2026

Not Jeter, Rodriguez, Griffey Jr., or Yount.

Both of the missing players played first base. One of them was a switch hitter, Hall of Famer, and 8-time All Star. The other one was a 3-time MVP and 11-time All Star.
