Trivia - Who is Mark Teixeira and what makes him unique?

[wilheim]

Bottom of 15th. Can you believe Fassero batted for himself. They have to empty the house and set the place up for game two because I believe this is a spit admission double header.

wil, don't rub it in you fat bastard...that's not the smart move. tessio was always smarter than you!

 

[LogansRun]

Wil, I think they got the word to Sammy!

4-2 Flubs.

Last guy to give up the gofer ball to the Bonds family...J-man - he was an Oriole and it wasn't Ken Singleton doing spot duty.

Dennis Martinez.


Blue belive me of anyone here I root for you to win. The game was study in futility. I liked Zambrano, only reason on Cubs.

wil, i know. it was a small play for me. two unearned runs in regulation...ouch.

 

[wilheim]

I had a decent bet at -149. I think I am right on the last pitcher in the Bonds trivia question.
Dennis Martinez, played for the O's and finished with the 98 Braves. Some where in there he faced both Bonds'.

frank tannana was the answer to one of the hangman questions from last winter. what about tippy martinez...craft lefty...

wil btw, did you buy any wga?

 

[Journeyman]

I would have to agree, it has to be El Presidente...Martinez was pitching back in the 70`s when Bobby was with Cleveland...Reminds me of the night Bobby was ejected for arguing back at Memorial Stadium, he unloaded the whole dugout full of bats. I was at that game and Bonds went bonkers that night! My guess would be Denny Martinez

 

[LogansRun]

Will is correct.

El Perfecto is the other pitcher. For bonus points (don't look it up), who was the catcher in Dennis' perfect game and he was also the catcher in which other perfect game (Like the 2 grand slams in the same inning by Tatis, this record of catching 2 perfect games will not be broken for a VERY long time)?

rick cerone...i have no idea

 

[wilheim]

Ivan Rodriquez.



Blue - Sorry no stocks for me.

[LogansRun]

Mr Forgotten Ron Hassey who was the catcher for Len Barker in 1981 vs Toronto.

Not likely we'll see a catcher catch in 2 let alone 3 perfect games to break this record.

What active Major League hitter has stuck out the most times in his on-going career?

[wilheim]

LOL it should be him but no.

 

[LogansRun]

It has to be either the Big Cat Galarraga or McGriff.

 

[wilheim]

[LogansRun]

Going with the Big Cat Galarraga as the King of Whiff.
