so you think you know baseball............

its mike schmidt 87.

 

Wow, I should'a gotten that.

 

Who was the 1st player to win a Stanley Cup and an Olympic Gold in the same year?

If you watched one of the quarterfinal games they said this over the air......

 

ken morrow 1980 ?

 

^^^^

Pretty sure that's right. Matter of fact, I think he won the gold and then FOUR Stanley Cups in a row.

 

axe-he did. i thought this was a baseball thread?

what person is the baseball mvp award named for?

 

Kenesaw Mountain Landis?

 

correct igloo. nice work.

 

who was the second man into the 500 hr club?

 

I'll go with Jimmy Fox as a guess? If thats not right, I'll google it, haha..........

 

ig-very close....

one more guess for free..?

 

Teddy Ballgame...?

 

LOL! Ummm...stupid on my part -- Williams was after Foxx.

Huh...drawing a blank. I know it's not Gehrig (493)...

 

Barry Bonds

 

williams is the oldest to hit into the 500 hr club due to missing 6 yrs bc of 2 wars.

it's Mel Ott

only 4 guys hit 3 hrs in a world series game. one guy did it twice btw. name them?

 

Mel Ott hit his 500th in 1945. Jimmy Foxx hit his 500th in 1940.

Think the correct answer is Foxx.

 

Thanks Axe! Then my guess was right Fish. Foxx was known as the Babe Ruth of the other league in those days, which is why I guessed it would be him.....

 

Well, we know one is Mr. October alias Reggie Jackson. And I think somebody did it last year or the year before but I can't remember who? How about Babe Ruth as another?

Edit: I was going to say Pujols and forgot to post it. But I couldn't think of who did it last year, so I googled him. It was Sandoval and found out the babe did it twice....

 

wtf--2 sources said it was ott. can't trust anyone!

and igloo--your source was right. pujols, jackson, ruth and sandoval.

 

My source was my head Fish. Except for Sandoval, I had to google him. I would of never guessed him. He plays in the West so I don't know him very well.....
