Fun Trivia : Quizzes : MLB Records : Boy Did I Show Them

Introduction:
"Short, sweet, and all multiple choice. You pick the player who went above and beyond to prove their point. Have fun! :-)"

    Lou Gehrig
    Babe Ruth
    Duke Snider

    Steve Carlton
    Jerry Koosman
    Roger Craig
    Phil Niekro


3. It is bad enough to hit into a double-play that squelches a possible team drive, but when you are the first player in history to hit into 30 double-plays in a season and do it three times, someone should have figured out to make me the lead-off hitter. Who am I?
    Reggie Jackson
    Jim Rice
    Mo Vaughn
    Babe Ruth


4. I was considered a home run king. Unfortunately, it was not my bat but my arm that gave them up. I set a season record for dishing up 50 in one season, then gave up another 46 the following season to prove my point. Who am I?
    Matt Keough
    Jim Bunning
    Luis Tiant
    Bert Blyleven


5. Everyone thought it was a fluke when I led the National League in hits in 1920 with my 218. Boy did I show them. In 1921, I led the league again, this time with 235 hits, then again the following season with 250. Who am I?
    Honus Wagner
    Rogers Hornsby
    Cy Seymour
    Heinie Zimmerman


6. I set a record by stealing seven bases in a World Series. To prove my point, I did it the following season also. Who am I?
    Lou Brock
    Greg Pinchbeck
    Rickey Henderson
    Vince Coleman


7. I was a National League pitcher and won 21 games in a season. The following season, I won only 15 and most people thought that my 20 was a fluke. I then ran off three 20-win seasons, and followed that it up with winning only 14. Everyone knew that was it for me but I showed them all. I whipped off six consecutive 20-win seasons after that. Who am I?
    Warren Spahn
    Denny Lemaster
    Cy Young
    Steve Carlton

10. I wanted to make a name for myself and let hitters know that I wasn't going to put up with anything. In four consecutive seasons I led the National League for hitting batters. My point was made when I set a modern day record by hitting 20 in a season. Who am I?

    Don Drysdale
