Not Mickey

I don't recall that he ever won an MVP but I'm going to say Eddie Murray.

That was a trick question! LOL.

Next: Name the last team to sweep a World Series.

 

[Jagger69]

That was indeed a trick question!!

As for your question....I'm pretty sure it was the Giants but I don't recall the exact year and since you didn't ask for one, I'm claiming the prize.

Correct over the Tigers.


I thought to be honest it was 07 when the Red Sox swept the Rockies two years after the White Sox swept the Astros.

Next question....

Pete Rose is the all-time MLB hits leader with 4,256. Who holds the all-time MLB record for most times striking out with 2,597?

Reggie Jackson??

Mr. October. Yes.

Comedian Will Farrell recently played all the positions for the 10 teams in the Cactus League during Spring Training. He said he was doing it for Stand Up for Cancer and to recreate Bert Campaneris' accomplishment of playing all nine positions in a game. Bert Campaneris was the first player to do it. Who is Campaneris tied with?

 

[Jagger69]

I'm going to take a wild guess and say Jose Oquendo.

 

[MustBeGood]

Puzzled also. When answered here is the next question.

Name the only pitcher to pitch a no-hit opening day.

Pitcher, his team, the team that got no hit, and the stadium where it happen at.

(Hint: Both teams have the same part in their team name from the city.) That is a huge clue.

Without googling I can only answer the first two: Bob Feller and the Cleveland Indians.

I'm pretty sure there have been at least two others - both American leaguers - but I'm drawing a complete blank on their names.

Did Cesar Tovar do it?

Yep. Ignore the clue by the way.
