What is true of every NL uniform that is not true of several AL uniforms?
Every cap in the NL has the letters of the city on it, whereas the AL, the Orioles, Blue Jays and Indians have logos. Not counting alternate caps.

Rogers Hornsby?
He was an NL guy, only played a couple years at the end in the AL while managing the Browns.

Did you remember that from when I asked it before, or did you just know?

Process of elimination. I guess. Thought about colors fonts pinstripes. The caps are they only thing that stood out.

I randomly noticed that several years ago, of course then it wasn't totally true since the Astros were in the NL and had that hideous half-star thingee on their hat.

A fan caught two homers from the same player in one game. What player hit those two homers? I think this is the only example of this that is known.

Who injured the same woman in the stands twice by hitting her with consecutive foul balls during the same AB, even though she was in two different places? And what two parts of her got injured?

Haha, I actually forgot about that. Ok, which player hit two home runs in the same game in Houston that was caught by the same fan?

Oh... and why was she in two different places?

The answers to my questions were:
AL position: Eddie Collins
AL pitcher: Early Wynn
NL position: Pete Rose
NL pitcher: Greg Maddux
Next question: Fenway Park and Wrigley Field are the two oldest ballparks in Major League Baseball still standing. What is the third-oldest MLB park still standing?

Still in use is Dodger Stadium.
If you're being tricky and asking us about stadiums that aren't in use anymore but are still standing I'll guess RFK.

Tiger Stadium
That stadium was demolished.
I'll guess Candlestick.

This will be some trick. Like its a stadium but a museum or rebuilt or something.

Why wasn't she?
Lady was in the stands, minding her own business.
Richie Ashburn hit a foul ball that broke her nose.
Game paused while everybody looked and stadium staff helped her.
They got a stretcher to carry her out, and the game got back underway.
He fouled off the very next pitch, and that one hit her while she was in an aisle, being carried out on a stretcher.
The second one broke something in her knee.
