Forum Game ...so you think you know your Baseball?

Next question; Who are the four players who hit World Series homers in three different decades ?

 

That should say home runs in four different decades correct?
If four decades is what you're looking for, then these are the 4 men....

Splendid Splinter Ted Williams.
Willie stretch McCovey.
Rickey Henderson.
Omar Vizquel.

I only know this because I listened to a radio show a year ago with Omar. The longetivity of these guys was touched upon.

 

No, it says "WORLD SERIES" home runs.

 

To be fair, it's a very difficult question so I'll amend the question so that whoever can come up with 2 of the 4 names, wins this round.

 

Berra
DiMaggio
M. Williams
and E. Murray

I need a new pair of glasses... totally my bad...!~

 

You guys are making my Head Spin.

 

Ya' mean like:
You spin me round round baby round round like a record player round round round round....

Which one's the most hysterical?

C-

 

Next question; Without Googling, Name the first skipper to lead three different teams to pennants.

 

Only one I can think of and that would be Dick Williams. Red sox/Athletics / Padres.

I don't know if he was the first to do it. And he's the only one I can think of.

LaRussa came close but no cigar.

 

The answer is Bill McKechnie (1928 St. Louis Cardinals; 1925 Pittsburgh Pirates; 1939, 1940 Cincinnati Reds)

 

Next question;

Without googling, name the manager who, after Connie Mack and John McGraw, had the most consecutive years managing one team.

 

Had to be Walt Alston, 54-76?

If there were a skipper(s) other than the two noted prior, who managed longer than Walt, I don't know who that person would be...

 

Correct.

 

Next question; Without Googling, Name the first player to hit 30 home runs, score 125 runs and steal 45 bases in a season.

 

I am going to recuse myself on this one. I watched a game this weekend, in which the game commentator spoke of this.

Had I not of heard about this, I would have guessed incorrectly.

I will not disclose the game, channel nor announcer, as such could possibly be a give away.

 

I'll give a hint...the player is still playing.
