I have some tigers trivia for you boys:

Who was the first Detroit Tiger to lead the league in homeruns with 7, in 1908?

Answer: (One word, surname only ... starts with C)

you only get one chance now, so make it good!

 

[Fishhead]

Not Boggs

 

[Fishhead]

Ty Cobb

 

[Kodiak7]

then its not the top redsox's player of the 80's in my opinion..

dewie evans?

 

[Kodiak7]

fish... WRONG!!

(did you think I wouldn't ask a trick question?)

 

[Fishhead]

Yes, DEWEY EVANS.....and yes, he was the top player on the Red Sox in the 80's.

 

[wilheim]

We got a winner. Dewey Evans hit the first pitch of the first Red Sox game in 1986 for a home run. Not known as a leadoff hitter which makes the question that much tougher.

Sam Crawford

 

[Kodiak7]

what the hell was evans leading off for? no wonder they could never compete with the team of the 1980's.. THE DETROIT TIGERS BABY!!

BLESS YOU BOYS! 84'

 

[Kodiak7]

I said one guess fish! cheater!! yes it was sammy (the hitman) crawford...

 

[wilheim]

Last one in the new millinnium:

Only player to win All star game MVP and World Series MVP in the same year.

[Fishhead]

Because Dewey averaged around 110 walks a season in the 80's is why he was lead-off.

I think Mike Schmidt was the ONLY player to have more homeruns than Dewey in the decade of the 80's.

FISH BAD DAY TO TAKE A DAY OFF...SHE HITS...MINESOTTA 2nd HALF LANDS ON 97....

 

[Journeyman]

I just saw the question! I remember EVans leading off, and I think it was off of Morris...wasn`t it that wild opener they had , I think the game had quite a few runs too...He may have hit two that day ...

 

[Fishhead]

Yes, it was against Jack Morris.

I was watching the game live at the STARDUST in Vegas.

 

[Kodiak7]

Who was the youngest player to reach 3,000 hits?
