Either that or he is the king of baseball knowledge

I dont really care, if they really need to look up the answer, they dont get any satisfaction out of getting the answer. If so, good for them.

Nope

And just for the record, I looked up names of people who hit for the cycle, not who's team they were on, it was a shot in the dark, and if I got it wrong, there were 5 other names you guys could have picked from

I'll go with the Big Drunky, David Wells, even tho I suspect that someone threw a perfect game in between him and the Unit...

Not David Wells, someone did throw a perfect game between him and the Big Unit
Here's a hint, he was a New York Yankee

David Cone? Thought he threw his before Boomer, but maybe I'm off.

Man, been a while...
Who was the first baseball player to win his league's "Rookie of the Year" and MVP awards in the same season?

Incandenza · Post by **Incandenza** » Wed Jun 13, 2007 11:34 pm

I'm going to go with Fred Lynn, even tho I have a feeling that someone did it before him.

Nope, the first was Freddy Lynn back with the Red Sox in 1975. Incadenza, your go.

Niiiiiiiice.

Now I have to think really hard and come up with a new question.

This should be easy: in keeping with the last question, name the only person to ever win Rookie of the Year and the Cy Young award in the same season.

Gold Knight · Post by **Gold Knight** » Thu Jun 14, 2007 9:06 pm

Warren Sphawn ( sorry for the spelling)

Incandenza · Post by **Incandenza** » Thu Jun 14, 2007 10:29 pm

Not Warren Spahn.

I almost said Cy Young... wow i woulda felt dumb

The only really good young pitcher that comes to my mind was Fernando Valenzuela, he was just on TV so ill guess him.

Correct! Fernando was the man. I grew up in the LA area so I was a big fan when I was a kid.

Do your worst.

Wow, i cant believe that was right...

Alright, who was the first MLB player to win the MVP three times?

Cheesemore · Post by **Cheesemore** » Fri Jun 15, 2007 11:10 am

Babe Ruth?

Gold Knight · Post by **Gold Knight** » Fri Jun 15, 2007 1:55 pm

Not so much, but the Babe did once play for the team of this player, even if only for a short time...

Cheesemore · Post by **Cheesemore** » Fri Jun 15, 2007 2:06 pm

Ted Williams?

spurgistan · Post by **spurgistan** » Fri Jun 15, 2007 2:08 pm

DiMaggio.

Gold Knight · Post by **Gold Knight** » Fri Jun 15, 2007 7:55 pm

No to both, wrong team. Babe played for a long time with the Yankees, but i was thinking of the team he started with...
