New sports trivia
- Thread starter unassuming
- Start date
Stared at this one for a long, long time, as it frustrated me as I stared at that big 1997 season -- I think its Tino Martinez. Took him a while to get going in Seattle.
For some reason I had in my head that Tino had a 50 HR season and I dismissed him every time I looked at this one. But his peak season may have been that 44/141
Marquis Grissom.
Must have missed this one earlier. He was an outstanding defensive CFer on those 1992-1994 Expos, great base stealer as well at the time, with some pop.
It was nonsense that he was traded to the Braves for a washed Roberto Kelly and Tony Tarasco -- but then again other than 1996, Marquis was never the same player that he was on those 92-94 Expos. Anybody that knows me, knows that I hold those 3 expo seasons as my favourite as a Sports fan (recently had my license to be able to take the one hour drive to games).... of course until August 1994/
Kal Daniels - Remember that great partial season in 1987, and mild disappointment afterwards.
Jerry Reuss? Those numbers in the early 80's seem to make sense for him and he hung around for quite a while after that.
shack, I've had enough of your guff. Troll me one more time, EVER, and you'll go on my shit list. What that means is that I won't put you on Ignore, but I won't respond to any quoted post with text. I might respond with an image or a youtube video, or any of a number of things, if at all. I will also go out of my way to make you look foolish on this board whenever the opportunity presents itself, all for the amusement of other people, at your expense. You won't like it, but they will.
I don't want to have to do that, but I will if diss me again.
I don't chose my victims. They chose me.
Schadenfreude
@maurice93: Tino Martinez, Marquis Grissom, Bret Saberhagen, Jeff Reardon and Kal Daniels are all Correct! Question posts have been updated.
Ron Kittle - that peak season looks like his 1983 season. Short career, very high K rate for that time anyway.
This is Jack Clark.... remember his run with the Cards on their mid 80's high speed teams. Also a grade A asshole if I remember correctly.
Will Clark. Recognize that 1989 season. 2nd in MVP voting in 1989 to his teammate Kevin Mitchell.
4 top 5 MVP finishes by the age of 27, seemed on track to potential HOF career.. but his power just stalled at that point and went in reverse..
I think I have went through all the blanks now... seemed to have missed page 162 almost in its entirety.
What's his name?
Nope.
Ron Kittle stole 16 bases in his 10 year Major League career, and was caught an equal number of times.
Didn't even look at the SB category when I was originally answering this one. Kittle was a complete stiff - surprised he even stole 16 bases.
@maurice93: Jack Clark and Will Clark are Correct!
Jack Clark was notorious for not warming up before games. After signing a big free agent contract with the Yankees, he put himself on George Steinbrenner's shit list by pulling his hamstring in the last game of spring training, during a home run trot. He's one of the many athletes who squandered all of his money.

And what recently prior diss did I offend you with when you posted this seemingly out of nowhere? It seems like you're trolling me.
What's his name?
This:
maurice93's reply and yours are almost the same. The question is What's his name?, and neither of you knew, but you state details that are obvious.
There's no problem with looking up an answer if a question has you stumped. There's a big problem with posting an answer that you obtained by looking it up. Not only that, you posted that answer before most of the other players had a chance to see it.
A guy dying at the Olympic Games in Canada was a big news story. Most people forgot his name seconds after they heard it, because it was foreign and had a lot of syllables. It was a great trivia question for that reason, and you fucked it up because you didn't see What's his name? in extra large text.
