I won’t give it away. I only know the answers because I researched it. I can say my knee jerk answers of Ted Williams, Gwynn, Boggs, Ichiro didn’t work because most of them didn’t even have 150HRs. With that said, in regards to the 2 corrects answers, 1 makes total sense. Not surprising. The other is a bit of a shock. And should make someone on this board very proud.Name the only two players in baseball history who have hit 300 home runs but have struck out less then 500 times in their careers.

Another trivia question:
Who was the first exMet to play for the Yankees?[/QUOTE?
Marv Thornberrry?
Answer in following post. Don’t look if you still want to guessMarv Throneberry played for the Yankees in the 1950s and later played for the 1962 Mets.
Last season the MLB record for fewest strikeouts (minimum 500 ABs) was held by Hanser Alberto of the Orioles. He had 50.Yogi Berra
5 times during his career he had more home runs than strikeout for the season.
Some guy named Stan Musial got a hit to drive it in.How did the Mets give up their first regular season run in history?

Only one I know was St Louis Browns vs Cardinals during war years at Sportsman ParkThree times a World Series was played in the confines of one ballpark. Name the year of the series, ballpark and the teams.
I looked it up so I won't reveal. I will say that I knew one of them with the year, and I knew one other but not the year. What I did not know was that one of the three was a rematch.Three times a World Series was played in the confines of one ballpark. Name the year of the series, ballpark and the teams.
Yup 1944.Only one I know was St Louis Browns vs Cardinals during war years at Sportsman Park
Obviously pre-Yankee StadiumYup 1944.
The other two years were the same teams in same ballpark in back-to-back years.
Your dad's manager played in both series.Obviously pre-Yankee Stadium
Casey was a tough guy when he played.Your dad's manager played in both series.
Clutch too. He wasn't the most talented player on the field but his moxie and swag made up for that.Casey was a tough guy when he played.
It was called Braves Field then and yes the Red Sox did play a World Series there in 1916, back then the owners were not sentimental at all, they just cared about selling tickets and Braves Field at the time was the biggest ballpark in the country so they moved the series from Fenway to there.New York Yankees vs. New York Giants when both teams shared the Polo Grounds for a decade. The teams met in the World Series from 1921-23 - the first two at the Polo Grounds. Yankee Stadium opened in 1923.
My other guess would have been in the 1910s when the Boston Braves Nickerson Field was used by the Red Sox for World Series play but that wouldn't seem to be the case.
Casey was a tough guy when he played.
First one I need a hint, did you watch him as a player or fan/kid?This switch hitter was the first to achieve 100 hits from each side of the plate?
Hint: I watched him do it?
The only other guy to do it I played against in high school
