July 11, 200817 yr The last manager traded is that guy now on the north side. Can't recall his name at the moment.
July 11, 200817 yr QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 10, 2008 -> 10:30 PM) Narrower hint on the no-hitter guy. It happened in the '80s. joe cowley?
July 11, 200817 yr Author QUOTE (lord chas @ Jul 11, 2008 -> 11:14 AM) joe cowley? See... I knew that the '80s thing would give it away. Joe Cowley is the answer.
July 11, 200817 yr Cowley crossed my mind, but because 8 inning ho-hitters don't count anymore I dismissed that thought.

Who was it? Andy Hawkins of the Yankees that lost an 8 inning no-hitter at Old Comiskey ... Seems like Ozzie hit one to left the was an error with bases loaded and 3 scored on the play. That was the game I thinking of.
July 12, 200817 yr As of Friday Josh Hamilton has 91 rbi's heading into the ASB, there are only 4 guys who had a higher total. Name one.

Name one. hack wilson....though there was no all star break back then, but at this point during his season i would think he would have and also hank greenberg had some enormous RBI seasons so ill guess him Edited July 12, 200817 yr by daa84
July 12, 200817 yr QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 12, 2008 -> 04:01 PM) Cecil Fielder? Nope, i'll give a hint...the guy who hasn't been named yet did it in the last 10 years.
July 13, 200817 yr Carlos Delgado? I remember him having one year where he was putting up some sick RBI numbers.
July 13, 200817 yr QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 13, 2008 -> 02:41 AM) I think your right. I am, I saw it on a Rangers broadcast last week and on the Sox broadcast last night. I had no recollection at all of that.
July 13, 200817 yr Heres 4: Which baseball player wore a cabbage leaf under his hat? Who was the only baseball player traded for himself? Which player struck out 5 batters in an inning (think White Sox )? Name the only player to hit for the home run cycle (can be minor leaguer), also which mlb player recently came the closest and how close? Edited July 13, 200817 yr by ChWRoCk2
July 13, 200817 yr I cheated and looked the answer up for the home run cycle and I'd have never known the answer, never.
July 13, 200817 yr Wow, that is one hell of a person to wear a cabbage leaf under his hat. Second off, how in the hell did you know these random facts?

I retain a lot of useless baseball knowledge, and have several trivia books. Only question I didnt know was the home run cycle one, was always curious if anyone ever accomplished it. Figured I'd throw it out there to see if anyone knew the answer, found it though. Edited July 13, 200817 yr by ChWRoCk2
July 13, 200817 yr Can you recommend some of those books. I love stuff like that and as a kid used to read random fact books (and was always intrigued by crap like that).

This book Baffling Baseball Trivia contains more situational stories from the game, the link is a preview. Not so much a stat book but interesting stories. MLB Book of Fabulous Facts and Trivia MLB Fact Book they update this every year, so I'm sure there is a newer version out. Some of the better ones I have. Theres always baseball-reference.com too. This is a trivia forum, hard to navigate though http://www.baseball-fever.com/forumdisplay.php?f=11
