Actually . . . Whiten only hit one grand slam, i think - either way, it's been done in both leagues since then (and that was a great guess - i'd totally forgotten about that).

NL - Fernando Vina - significant b/c he hit both in ONE INNING, in '99.

AL - Nomar Garciaparra, in '99.

Hey, not that dumb - not a popular award w/ the media. Silver Sluggers are given out to one player at each position, in each league - it's the hitting analog of a gold glove, and is given based on production in the triple-crown catagories and OPS (essentially).

Alas, that is the essence of this sort of 'trick' question - the players have to be the top hitter at their position, in their league. Thus, the answer is JASON GIAMBI, who of course puts of great numbers, but is still annually behind the great Carlos Delgado, the winner the last two years. Giambi's never won one - but Alomar and Palmer have, by out-slugging weak competition at their position.

Thanks Rob

- I feel better now! Then Barry must have won LF Silver Slugger in the NL last year, right?

Okay new question. Which pitcher in the 1940's won two straight mvps and finished one vote away from winning a third straight?

It's Carol*yn

- sorry I'm sorta anal about that, haha

! Thanks, I will make sure that I have lotsa fun

. I can't wait to go on the Disneyland rides again!!@!!! I love Disneyland

. Especialoy matterhorn mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad!!!!! Yippie!

I'm happy b/c the Giants made another move b4 I left- Wayne Gomes is now a Giant! Interesting move, b/c gomes and J.T. snow have had a very intersting history between them (lots of fights between them), but that should be past them, since it was about 3 or 4 years ago! Hopefully all goes well for the Giants and Gomes/Snow

! And we just won 9-5 over Arizona! So, at least a split.... I'm hoping for a SWEEP though!!!!

OK, well now i have to finish my last-min. packing! bye bye for now!! BTW, Barry hit a bomb for his 45th HR tonite!!

P.S. ROB-congrats on Saberhagen!

I know one. I'm thinking of the pitcher from the Cleveland Indians who stop Dimaggio's streak. last name is gordon? I don't know about the other one.

Jim Bagby and Roy Weatherby (I'm a huge Yanks fan, so I remember that stuff)

What pitcher holds the modern major league record for victories, and with how many?

#45 06-03-2003, 12:29 AM

KSigKid-

Your bro posted the answer to that question earlier on in the thread. It's Cy Young.

My question is this, in reference to the "shot heard round the world". Yes, it was hit by bobby thompson, but WHO was on deck for the Giants when it was hit?

Kitso
KS 361
