McGriff?

BOOM!!

 

Well done, Sir! 

[mdrunning]

McGriff?

That might be right.

 

Correction: It is.

[Mike in STL]

i guessed him as well, before i finally got the second guy.

Great minds…

[TwentyThirtyFive]

I was trying to figure out the other one and totally blanked on McGriff being in the HOF. 🙄

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Thought this would be an interesting trivia question for you guys. Was doing Immaculate Grid and Steelers and Ravens matched up.


There have only been 23 players who have played a game for both franchises. There are only 3 players who have played at least 1 game in 3 seasons for both teams. Name them . 1 is easy the other two are tougher but getable.

Rod Woodson!  My work here is done.

[McNulty]

Wormley

[TwentyThirtyFive]

2 out of 3. Last guy played in the '90s. Offensive player.

40-homer seasons by someone who mainly started at shortstop belong to A-Rod, Banks, Tatis Jr and what 4th player who played in the 60s and 70s? 

[TwentyThirtyFive]

I know who it is. Im a baseball nerd. Ill give others a few days. Also a rare 10 WAR season in MLB history.

[1970]

Rico Petrocelli.

 

This one can be a little tricky since he was a full time 3B by the time I started watching teams other than the Orioles, but I know he was full time SS at some point before that and that he had good power.  I did look up his BR page once I thought of him to verify I was right.

Who has the most 20-win seasons post-deadball era? For a hint: this is a HOFer, but generally not considered an all-time great at the position. 

 

I'll reveal it in a couple hours or if two people get it right, whichever comes first

My instinct was it was still gonna be a pitcher who did it early to mid 20th century vs the back half of the century. I looked it up so I wont say if my instinct was right or not

[Nigel Tufnel]

I looked up my first guess, and he had thirteen 20-win seasons.  I suppose someone might have more, though.

I had the same thought and I think that could be the right answer.

Alright, it is indeed Warren Spahn with 13!

 

[mdrunning]

Yep, I had it right (insert pat on back here). I would, however, put Warren Spahn in among the all-time greats. He is, after all, the winningest lefthander in the history of baseball. Sports Illustrated had him as the LHP on their all-time greatest MLB team back in 1993. Christy Mathewson was the RHP, which I personally did not agree with.

 

I did have to look up Palmer's numbers, but I remember him racking up 20-win seasons with numbing consistency back in the 1970s, so I figured he might be the actual leader or at least pretty close. He does have the record for righthanders for the most 20-win seasons post-deadball era. Good job, Cakes!

I missed 2 from 1995. Got all the rest. Im salty about 1 of the 2 because he was listed as a 3b despite that not being his primary position.

 

 

1 name in 2007 is Martinez. Its an error.

Today's Immaculate Grid can be filled entirely with Orioles, but you gotta get cute to fill out the HOF squares...can you do it?

[TwentyThirtyFive]

I havent done immaculate grid in awhile now but after I started trying to fill out all the spots with Os if it was possible. Most of the time its possible.

Trying to get all the football spots with former Ravens is a lot tougher
