Minor Leagues Trivia Questions

1. Which team was featured in a 1988 movie that starred Kevin Costner, Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon?

From Quiz
Minor League Mania

Answer: Durham Bulls

The movie is, of course, "Bull Durham." The Bulls are the Triple A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays. They play at Durham Bulls Athletic Park. The incorrect answers are other Triple A teams.

2. What New York Yankee, who once got a hit in 56 straight MLB games, played four years in the Pacific Coast league between 1931-1935?

From Quiz Stop The Bus

Answer: Joe Dimaggio

All of these men played centerfield for the New Your Yankees; however, Joe DiMaggio is the only one to hit safely in 56 straight games. DiMaggio was nicknamed the "Yankee Clipper" by New York sportswriters because he glided around the bases and the outfield. DiMaggio was born in the Northern California town of Martinez, the eighth child of an Italian immigrant. Joe followed his older brother Vince into a career in baseball to avoid life as a San Francisco fisherman. In 1931, he joined the Pacific Coast League's San Francisco Seals, and immediately started to gain attention. Ironically, while DiMaggio would set the major league record for getting at least one hit in 56 straight games, it was not even his longest streak. DiMaggio hit safely in 61 straight games while playing for the Seals in 1933. DiMaggio almost never made it to New York, as he suffered a career threatening knee injury in 1934. In a remarkable recovery, Joe hit .394 with 154 RBI's in 1935 for the Seals and never looked back. DiMaggio played for the New York Yankees his entire major league career retiring with a .325 career average. DiMaggio like many other 1940's stars enlisted in the American war effort and served in World War II. DiMaggio's older brother Vince and younger brother Dom also played in the major leagues. For good measure, DiMaggio was part of nine World Series championships while playing for the Yankees. DiMaggio died of lung cancer in 1999.

3. The New York Yankees moved their affiliation to this city in northeast Pennsylvania in 2007.

From Quiz International League Affiliates

Answer: Moosic

The team maybe based in Moosic, but its proximity to the Scranton and Wilkes Barre gives it marketablility. It changed its team name at the start of the 2013 season from the generic Yankees to the Railriders.

4. What slugging outfielder had a .229 batting average with 9 home runs and 42 stolen bases for Class A Charlotte Rangers in 1988?

From Quiz Before They Were Stars

Answer: Sammy Sosa

Before Sammy Sosa hit all those home runs, he was a low average base stealer in the Texas Rangers organization.

5. Which city has not been a home to the Yankees AAA team?

From Quiz NY Yankees Minor League

Answer: Albany, NY

The Tacoma Yankees were the top farm club in 1978. Syracuse Chiefs were the top team from 1967-1977. Albany has only hosted an AA team.

6. What was originally on the site of Keyspan Park?

From Quiz Brooklyn Cyclones: Keyspan Park

Answer: roller coaster

It was the Thunderbolt roller coaster, and it hadn't been functional in many years.

7. Which team uses a strip of bacon as one of its logos on t-shirts and other merchandise?

From Quiz Minor League Mania

Answer: Lehigh Valley IronPigs

The IronPigs are the Triple A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies and play in Coca-Cola Park. One of the items the team sells is a t-shirt with a scratch and sniff picture of bacon. I own one of those shirts and it does work! The incorrect teams are other Triple A teams.

8. What Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher has the distinction to be the oldest rookie and the oldest first time all-star?

From Quiz Stop The Bus

Answer: Leroy "Satchel" Paige

Leroy "Satchel" Paige had the unfortunate distinction to be born in 1906 and spent over 20 years playing baseball in relative obscurity in America's Negro Leagues. It was not until 1947 when the color barrier was lifted, and African-American ballplayers were "permitted" to play in the major leagues, that Leroy Paige got his chance to play at the highest level. In 1948, at the age of 42, Paige became the oldest player to make his major league debut when he pitched for the Cleveland Indians. In 1952, now 46 and pitching for the St. Louis Browns, Paige became the oldest first-time All-Star. Paige also made the All-Star team in 1953. While Paige's major league record was only 28 wins to 31 losses, the fact that he did not get a chance to pitch until he was in his 40's remains a testament to how amazing an athlete he was. Paige's greatness was demonstrated during his years in the Negro League's. In one stretch from 1934-1941, Paige was an almost perfect 64-7. Perhaps even more amazing were Paige's achievements after leaving the major leagues. From 1956-1961 Paige pitched for the minor league Miami Marlins and the Portland Beavers at the AAA level throwing over 360 innings and having an excellent win/loss record of 31-22. The remarkable thing was that while the batters were on average 24 years old, Paige was 54 years old when he finished the 1961 season. Paige played one more game at the minor league level. In 1966 at the age of 59 Satchel pitched two innings for the Peninsula Grays of the Carolina League. The 1966 Peninsula Grays also featured 18 year old catcher and future Hall of Famer, Johnny Bench. Larry Doby is often a forgotten man in the history of MLB's integration. While Jackie Robinson is rightfully credited as the first player to "break the color barrier," Doby was the second overall and first in the American League. Doby was a seven-time All-Star playing for mostly for the Cleveland Indians. Josh Gibson is a legendary African-American catcher who played his entire career in the Negro leagues. Gibson is often called "the best player never to play in the major leagues". Hall of Fame pitcher Bob Feller, in contrast to Satchel Paige, never played a day in the minor leagues, making his major league debut at the age of 17, in 1936. Feller went on to compile a record of 266-162.

9. In 2007, the Norfolk Tides began its affliation with what team (after the New York Mets ended their 37 year affilation)?

From Quiz International League Affiliates

Answer: Baltimore Orioles

Several NY Mets played for the Tidewater/Norfolk Tides before that left, including Daryl Strawberry, Dwight Gooden and David Wright.

10. What MVP first baseman hit .333 with only 4 home runs and 61 runs batted in for Class AA New Britain in 1990?

From Quiz Before They Were Stars

Answer: Jeff Bagwell

Before Jeff Bagwell became a star with the Houston Astros, he played in the Boston Red Sox organization. He was traded to Houston in 1990 for right- handed pitcher Larry Anderson.

11. What city has not been home to the Yankees AA team?

From Quiz NY Yankees Minor League

Answer: Newark

West Haven was double A in 1972-1979. Manchester preceded it from 1969-1971 and Nashville had the team from 1980-1984.

12. Which team plays its home games at a higher elevation than any other team in pro baseball?

From Quiz Minor League Mania

Answer: Colorado Springs Sky Sox

The Sky Sox are the Triple A affiliate for the Milwaukee Brewers and play at Security Service Field, which sits 6,531 feet above sea level--more than 1,000 feet higher than Coors Field. When I attended a game on July 04, 2012, the Sky Sox defeated their opponents 17-4. The visiting team resorted to bringing in a position player to pitch the bottom of the 8th inning!

13. What Baseball Hall of Fame "southpaw" pitcher, who compiled a record of 300-141 for the Philadelphia Athetics and Boston Red Sox, started his career by playing five years with the minor league Baltimore Orioles?

From Quiz Stop The Bus

Answer: Lefty Grove

While all of the pitchers named are Hall of Fame left-handers, Lefty Grove is the only one to pitch for the A's and Red Sox. Grove is often considered the best left-hander ever. He compiled a win loss percentage that is amongst the best all-time, won 300 games, led the league in lowest ERA nine times and was the 1931 MVP. Before making his major league debut in 1925, Grove played five years for the minor league Baltimore Orioles, where he compiled an astounding minor league record of 108-28. "Baltimore Orioles" was a common name for teams playing in Baltimore, as several professional teams used the moniker before the current major league team (having previously been the St. Louis Browns) started to play in 1953. The manager/owner of the minor league Orioles that signed Lefty Grove in 1920 had in 1914 previously discovered a local Baltimore product named George Herman "Babe" Ruth.

14. Beginning in 1973, what city became the AAA home to the Boston Red Sox?

From Quiz International League Affiliates

15. What Hall of Fame player hit only .247 with 4 home runs and 21 stolen bases for Class A Spartanburg in 1979?

From Quiz Before They Were Stars

From Quiz Minor League Mania

Answer: Altoona Curve

Having visited the other ballparks multiple times, I can assure you none of the others have neighboring roller coasters.
