BLB Trivia

We never went down the rabbit hole (and for good reason)

To me he did the most manipulation over the years to his own team where if I had to guess 12-14 players we involved (Does anyone remember the SP Jerry Morgan collapse after the trade?)

Then 3 teams had some unusual "bad luck"

Washington
Hartford
California.

I'm sure he had some selective individual players usually the ones who threatened the greatness of his own players that he might of squashed, but again we will never know the full extent of this only speculation.

Kind of a summary of events.

It's just sad and I don't like to think about it.

Ok no more 90's BLB trivia for you guys. :)

Im sure he thought he was smarter than everyone. Not so much trying to get caught. His arrogance shows in his signature where he states he has "to many rings to count". First off, he uses the wrong "too" and then lets us know he cant count very high.

To be fair to a man who doesn't deserve it, I believe that signature was part of the joke in resurrecting his account for April Fools.

I thought about that too. If it was, it was funny that Brad did that.

Anyways, i know i wasnt around during that era but it still sucks.

Credit where credit is due, that line of humor was all Matt.

Ok, back to trivia (but not in the form of a trivia question):

Ethan Bafford needs 2 2b's and one RBI to achieve the statistical oddity that is

30+ 2Bs | 10+ 3B | 30+ HR | 100+RBI in a single season.

Discounting 2 tainted VIR players, this oddity has been achieved 5 other times.

So, I lied. There is a trivia question element to this post. Can you guess any of the six instances? (Hints below, because this is a really niche, obscure set of criteria):

1 PHI -
1 HAR - Frank Donegan - 1984
2 IND - Jimmy Jones - 2005|?
1 PAW -

Edit: Updated to remove incorrect SIN instance

I would have thought Dan Hogan had done this.

For Indy, Rex Knight is one?

[Delandis]

For Philly I'll say Scott.

[Delandis]

Durham for Hartford. And I have no idea for the Patriots. I can't think of a Pawtucket player who had the speed to get XBH like that.

[BradZ]

For Philly I'll say Scott.

Nope, only broke double digits in 3B's one time in his entire career at age 22 in 1987, a year in which he hit only 7 HR.

[BradZ]

For Indy, Rex Knight is one?

Rex Knight is a no as well. Same as Scott, double digit 3B's only 1 time (also at age 22), but "only" hit 25 HRs that season (also 1987!)

This is correct. Helmrich?
