[Giantmetfan07]

He did, but it was done before the 55 WS.

 

[Dice-J]

Second guess would be Ty Cobb.

And BTW, how many guesses does each member get per question?

 

[The Guid]

it's 3, non-consecutive guesses...or at least it was

 

[Dice-J]

alright. So my Cobb guess doesn't count or it does? And is it right? BTW, GMF07, you have 3.5 points, sorry I messed up the total. I also took off Frontpage Stardom who has 1 point. I'll post the new score after someone gets the next question. Also i wasn't changing my answer, I was clarifying the score update.

 

[Dice-J]

B-U-M-P. Was Ty Cobb right? If so just say so.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

No he was not. He does hold the record for most home plate steals, but not the first in the WS.

 

[Dice-J]

GMF07's question hasn't been answered in about 30-40 hours (atleast the right answer hasn
t been given). So here's the new question:

Baggino - 11
Yankees2772 - 6
Dice-J - 6
AE - 6
Chief Wahoo - 5
Giantmetfan07 - 3.5
NorthCarolinaTarHeels - 3
Jarrod23223 - 3
Marcum28 - 2
Frontpage Stardom - 1
-Big_Time_Balla - 1

Next Question: Since 1913, There have been only 8 players that have lead their league in
batting average and walks in the same season. Who are they?

 

[Yankees2772]

Babe Ruth, Rogers Hornsby, Lenny Dykstra, Carl Yaz, Richie Ashburn... Shat, I know this one...

 

[Giantmetfan07]

the answer to my question was George Davis. He stole home plate in game 5 of the 1906 WS.

 

[A.E]

Babe Ruth, Rogers Hornsby, Lenny Dykstra, Carl Yaz, Richie Ashburn... Shat, I know this one...

Isn't A-Rod on this list?

 

[Yankees2772]

A-rod led in AVG once on the Mariners, and never lead in walks... Especially not that year.

Adding to my last list:
Ted Williams (he HAD to have done it)
Barry Lamar Bonds (I think he's done it at least once...)

<Censored>, one more...

 

[A.E]

I wanna say Pete Rose, George Brett and Tris Speaker had a couple seasons with 95+ walks & an avg over .380

 

[Yankees2772]

Wade Boggs?

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Norm Cash, Barry Bonds, Ted Williams, Wade Boggs, Jimmie Foxx, Mickey Mantle.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

OH, A YANKEE!!
MICKEY MANTLE!!!!!!!
