If you don't count the covid-shortened 2020 season, the Orioles qualify.

They lost 108 in 2019 and 110 in 2021 and then were 83-79 in 2022.

Ok, I'll give credit for that. I'm looking for an answer that had no intervening COVID seasons.

Name the only 3 MLB pitchers that have pitched to both Vladimir Guerrero Sr. and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the majors.

One correct answer given by onomatopoeia.

I'll go with Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer and Rich Hill.

Scherzer is correct, the others are incorrect.

Scherzer is correct, the others are incorrect.

Ummm...

Justin Verlander:

vs Vlad Sr.

vs Vlad Jr.

Rich Hill:

vs Vlad Sr.

vs Vlad Jr.

There's also Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke.

Ok, obviously Buck Martinez and Dan Shulman lied to me on Saturday. During the Jays/Royals game when Greinke faced Vladamir Guerrero Jr. they mentioned that Greinke, Scherzer, and Ivan Nova were the only 3 pitchers to face both Father and son. I'll never believe anything they say again.

For Major League pitchers who played in the 2000 season on later, which pitcher has the most career home runs?

If you want to consider him a pitcher its Rick Ankiel.

Answer: Angels and Rockies

Nope.

Rick Ankiel career statistics.

Rick pitched only from 1999-2004. He had two home runs during that part of his career.

 

[K Douglas]

Which two members of the Baseball Hall of Fame had 200+ career wins, 20+ career home runs and 10+ career stolen bases?

Cy Young and Walter Johnson. I can't imagine any modern day HOF pitcher having 10+ SB's.

OK so you're not counting the stats when he was a hitter then.

Walter Johnson is Correct! Cy Young had 18 career home runs.

I can. I saw him play in the Majors, (at the ballpark, a game in which he was caught stealing), and I saw him hit a home run at an Oldtimer's game at Exhibition Stadium, (May 30, 1987).

It is definitely a gray area with the O's.

It's ok, this isn't Jeopardy. Our judges are much more lenient.

Bobby Witt sr and jr

Correct. However, my source was Buck Martinez and he burned me once this week, so beware.
