Some sample questions from this category:

* This perennial All-Star won the NL MVP Award in 1946, as he did in 1943 and '48. His uniform number was 6, and he played his entire career with one team. Who was he?
* This great player returned to the Major Leagues in 1946, after devoting three years to military service. He was born November 25, 1914 in Martinez, California, made his Major League debut on May 3, 1936, and died in Hollywood, Florida, on March 8, 1999. Who was this?
* This immortal player had a monster year in 1946, winning the AL MVP, and he made his only World Series appearance after three years as a Marine fighter pilot. Who was he?
* The 1946 All-Star Game was held at Fenway Park, and Ted Williams belted two homers, one on an "eephus" pitch by a Pittsburgh Pirate pitcher. What was the pitcher's name?
* Two Cardinal pitchers had such great seasons in 1946, that their names appear in almost every ranking of the top five starting pitchers. In virtually every category, one or both of their names can be found. Who were they?
