Ruth had 10 steals of home. The other guy had 493 HRs and 15 steals of home.

That’s too easy

I'm one of the few who has never really thought "Who's on First" was all that incredibly funny, but there have been SO many parodies using the same setup that are funny as hell, and, for me, make the original better, too.

Like THIS one: Slappy Squirrel at Rock Concert

 

[AidanFan20]

And this gem from Johnny Reag.... err, Carson: Watt?

 

[AidanFan20]

Big East top scorer... Being a West Coast guy, I don't remember when or even IF Georgetown was in the Big East. But if so, maybe Iverson, Mourning, or Ewing??

Two players went to USC at the same time, one went to the MLB and became MVP, the other went to the NFL and became a Superbowl MVP. One more hint, ones first name is the same as the other person's last name. Who are those two players?

 

[ucp990411]

Just a guess, but most consecutive wins and lowest ERA for a lefty.

Most losses in one season. Also had the lowest ERA the same year

Who were the 4 - 20 game winners for the Orioles in 1970?

 

[ucp990411]

Lowest average to win a batting title in modern baseball?

 

[McLovin]

since that was answered quickly, another fairly easy one along same lines:
Who is the only pitcher to hit two grand slams in the same game?

How about the only player to hit 2 grand slams in the same game, but one from the left and one from the right side of the plate…

While it didn’t happen in the same inning, it did happen in back-to-back plate appearances by this player…

[DisabledVet]

Who is the only player in MLB history to hit two grand slams in the same inning?

It was a St Louis Cardinal in the 90s. The name escapes me.
