OT: Give your best sports trivia question (rules in thread)

[boog204]

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

Tatis, Sr.!

 

[Jaydumo20]

Damn. Given those two choices, never would've guessed it was the fat white guy.

Speaking of stolen bases, most know that Elly De La Cruz was the last player to steal 2nd, 3rd and home in the same inning, having done it just last year with the Reds. Who was the last guy in the AL to do it?

My guess is either my boy randy arozarena or kenny lofton. Maybe Joey gathright....

 

[August_West]

1 - I despised that trade when it happened and it is still a sore subject. It happened shortly after they let Giacomin go and I wanted to take a bat to Emil Francis' head.
2 - It was a minor league throw-in with an Italian last name. John or Joe I believe, last name was something like Zanelli.

Close enough! Joe Zanussi!

Yeah, losing Park was tough.

 

[storrsroars]

Who is the only player to hit 2 home runs completely out of Dodger Stadium?

pretty sure Stargell was first to do it, so I'll go with Pops

[storrsroars]

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

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?

 

[storrsroars]

What division?

AL West

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Name the only college basketball player in history to both elbow Christian Laettner and also shove his head into the floor on a single play?

You stole my trivia question!

 

[Jaydumo20]

AL West

Man. Tough. I have 3 guesses.
Trout is my obvious guess but non obvious would be
Marcus Simien
Or... and not sure where this guy was in 2019 but I know he was a mariner at some point.
Dee Gordon

Last ditch guess is Shohei

 

[Jaydumo20]

Who is the only pitcher to hit two grand slams in the same game?

Jake arrieta? Or micah Owing? Or maybe Mike Hampton.
I'm just thinking about the best hitting pitchers. Part of me remembers Hampton doing something crazy

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Bartolo Colon

This could get messy, but we're adults. Post one of your favorite sports trivia questions (without the answer). Try to post only one question, and if someone guesses correctly that's when you can reveal. Any sports counts. You can answer a question, post one of your own or do both: up to you.

Here's mine:
13 baseball players have won back to back mvps:
Every position on the field is represented at least once.

Some positions have multiple winners:

3 1st basement have won it
4 outfielders have won
And one guy who played all over the field.

Name all 13

Good luck and cheaters never win

This used to be my go to trivia question. You could have made the the case that the first nine guys all played different positions.

When I was on the top of my sports trivia game and considered my unbeatable. . I was stumped by the following
In the famous double play combination Timkers to. Evers to Chance.

You always remember you defeats for some reason

Tony Cloniger(sp). He did it on my birthday, that's how I remembered.

 

[AidanFan20]

Who is the only pitcher to hit two grand slams in the same game?

Tony Cloninger of the Reds, against the Giants. I remember the game, and even where I was when I listened to it on the radio.

 

[Stew Crew]

Correct.

Dorothy Hamill or Lee Greenwood

I can't argue this. First hand account.
It's like the slumdog millionaire moment of sports trivia, and it's the best feeling:
You know the answer because you lived it

Hint 2: Seattle

 

[storrsroars]

Any of you guys play Immaculate Grid for MLB? I used to, but I'm a black hole on a lot of AL Central & West teams, so gave it up. Challenging game.

 

[DemonDeac22]

Willie mays and hank aaron? Or frank Robinson? Actually, I'll throw hank Greenberg.
(This is an awesome question btw)

None of the above. I’ll add that they were teammates.

 

[DemonDeac22]

Whoa... Totally wild guess but I'll say Mays and Ruth. And Ruth only because he was an idiotic baserunner and would have attempted to steal home far too many times.

Ruth was one of them…

 

[DemonDeac22]

Ruth was one of them…

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

 

[Jaydumo20]

Hint 2: Seattle

My boy mallex Smith? I knew he went to Seattle after he left us but I thought it was earlier than '19.
Unless it's not him, then I have zero clue. Tell me.
Was Robby Cano in Seattle in '19? I don't see him as a steal around the bases type guy

 

[storrsroars]

Yep, your boy.
