    As a kid I used to have huge lists of career stats memorized and was a god at baseball trivia baseball cards got me hooked on the stats and history. Still not too bad.

    Carl Yastrzemski, Ted Kluzskiwiskskisksks (no idea how the fuck to spell it correctly), Nomar Garciaparra- not sure if he hit 40 but i'm done. this was hard as shit.

    Yaz, Klu, Campy (surprised you missed him having just mentioned him!) and the impossible one is Rico Petrocelli.

    Can't think of his name but I know for sure it was a detroit tiger from like the 40's or 50's. Been so long since I've read about it though that I can't remember his name for the life of me.

    Didn't Byung Hyun Kim allow a walk-off hit to the Yankees? I didn't see the answer to that one yet.

    Charles Nagy is another one (to Renteria)...only reason I remember that is b/c I was at a buddy's house watching some wrestling pay-per-view back when this happened in 1997. I can remember that play vividly...Nagy's glove going up, barely touching the ball, and it scooting through to center for the winner. Some Indians infielder booted an easy double play ball to get it to that point as well.

    EDIT--oops on Kim...he blew like 3 other games that series, but I guess that was the Rivera answer from earlier to end that series.

    yea so far we have rivera, mitch williams, and nagy as correct answers- 2 more to go. remember feeling so bad for kim- might have pulled a donnie moore if the dbacks hadn't come back to win the series.

    Thats it ^...for my question I thought it was medwick as well when I heard the question initially, but he has the nl single season record. Ty cobb surprisingly doesn't have 1 of the top 50 all time single season doubles marks.

    For the walk off pitcher question is one john smoltz?

    You were worried that he would get cut by the Kansas City Royals 3 seasons after blowing that save and kill himself because he was a 35 year old relief pitcher that couldn't face the combination of his 13 year career being over and his marriage falling apart?

    Speaking of John Smoltz, which player was once traded for Frank Robinson and John Smoltz at one point in his career?

    correct game but smoltz didn't finish that game. morris did but a different braves pitcher gave up the GW hit. obv. jk about kim but that's about as devastating as it gets. pretty sure doyle is correct- think i've heard that one before.

    The Braves pitcher who give up the hit to Gene
    Larkin if memory serves was the immortal Alejandro Pena.
