That would have to be Pete Rose. Before that I would think Frank Robinson.

According to a couple NYC media outlets, Derek Jeter, but I am pretty sure that was unofficial (and I think Girardi has done a great job with that team, especially the bullpen.)

Yes. Charlie Hustle.

In 1997, Canada was directly related to three of the four MVP and Cy Young award winners. How so?

OK-I've got this one. AL Cy Young was Roger Clemens of the Jays. NL Cy Young was Pedro Martinez of the Expos. NL MVP award was Larry Walker (Canadian) of the Expos.

Correct. (On a side note, I am trying to watch the Marlins-Braves on Fox Sports One and there is some douchebag whistling as loud as he can near a field mic. I would not go to Marlins game simply because I would get arrested. I would buy a souvenir wood bat, find this guy, smash his face with the bat repeatedly. Amazing no one from Fox or the Marlins has asked the dude to stop.)

Yes. Charlie Hustle.

Speaking of Charlie Hustle......

This is probably a pretty easy question, but what the heck...

Who was the catcher he all but beheaded in the 1970 All Star Game?

Ray Fossee, Cleveland Indians

Who was playing left field when Henry Aaron hit HR #715 over the left field fence?

 

[feller469]

Iknow who threw it, who caught it, but am guessing on the left fielder, Rick Monday?

Bill Buckner?

Bill Buckner?

Yes sir :hatsoff:

Monday was a center fielder, but regardless this was an interesting topical guess, because after that season the Dodgers traded Buckner to the Chicago Cubs for......Rick Monday :thumbsup:

I didn't know there was a Canadian Baseball Hall Of Fame :o

But now that I do I'm thinking Gary Carter, Andre Dawson, Roberto Alomar, Tommy Lasorda and.....?

Ya'll should induct Pete Rose. That'd be awesome
