WS 7th Game Trivia Questions
1. In 1975, Cincinnati Reds' second baseman Joe Morgan got what proved to be the game-clinching hit in game seven of the 1975 World Series against Boston. Which type of hit did Morgan get?

From Quiz Game Seven

Answer: Single

In the ninth inning of the 1975 World Series, Joe Morgan blooped a single against Boston pitcher Jim Burton to drive home Ken Griffey from third base. This single was good enough to give the Reds a 4-3 lead going into the bottom of the ninth. Cincinnati relief pitcher Will McEnaney then preserved the lead by holding the Red Sox scoreless in the ninth.

2. How many seventh and deciding games have there been (in a best-of-seven World Series) from the first World Series in 1903 through to the end of the century in2000?

From Quiz The Seventh Game

Answer: 33

There was 33 in the first century of the Major Leagues. From 1909 between Pittsburgh and Detroit to the last one in 1997 between the Marlins and the Indians. The four World Series which were best-of-nine all had a game played (none went to a decisive ninth game) - 1903, 1919, 1920 and 1921.

3. How did the memorable 1912 World Series end?

From Quiz World Series Game Sevens #2

Answer: sacrifice fly

The Red Sox turned a 2-1 deficit against the New York Giants, into a 3-2 victory by scoring 2 runs in the bottom of the 10th inning in the decisive game, climaxed by Larry Gardner's sacrifice fly to right field, scoring Steve Yerkes from third. The Red Sox won the Series 4-3-1, with game two ending up tied 6-6.

4. The 2001 World Series was the _________ in which a deciding 7th game was played?

From Quiz World Series Game Sevens #1

Answer: Babe Adams

Adams came back on two days rest to win his third game of the series. Ty Cobb hit only .231 for the Series, in what turned out to be the closest he would ever come to a world championship. Cobb played for 19 more seasons, retiring after the 1928 season, but never again played in a World Series. Adams, by the way, was the last rookie to start a game 7 until John Lackey started game 7 for the Angels in the 2002 World Series.

6. In 1968, which Detroit Tiger lefty out-dueled Bob Gibson to win game seven of the World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals?

From Quiz Game Seven

From Quiz 9th Inning World Series Heroics!

Answer: Bill Mazeroski

The others were all Yankees, and it was the New York team who was on the losing end of this game seven, bottom of the ninth inning home run. The Yankees were down 9-7 going into the top of ninth inning, and with two RBIs provided by Mantle and Berra, they were all tied up going into the bottom of the ninth. In a strange series, the Yankees outscored the Pirates 55-27, but the Pirates managed to make it all count in the end, and Mazeroski's walk-off home run did it. Yankee Bobby Richardson was the series MVP.

8. Which team had a record of five wins and no losses in the seventh game of World Series play?

From Quiz The Seventh Game

Answer: Pittsburgh Pirates

The Pirates won in 1909, 1925, 1960, 1971 and 1979.

10. Who is the New York Giant catcher who caught his foot in his mask while chasing a pop foul in the 12th inning of game 7 of the 1924 World Series, leading to the winning run scoring for the Washington Senators?

From Quiz World Series Game Sevens #1

Answer: Hank Gowdy

Given new life by Gowdy's miscue, Senator hitter Muddy Ruel doubled to left.

Jackson later moved to right field in the game and Vic Davalillo took over in center. Dick Green was the '73 A's second baseman; Gene Tenace played first base and catcher; and Ray Fosse was a catcher for Oakland. Sal Bando played third base for the '73 A's.

12. In 1924, the Washington Senators won their first and only world championship. Their come-from-behind win was aided by what action by the Giants catcher Hank Gowdy?

From Quiz World Series Game Sevens #1

17. In 2002, which Angels' relief pitcher earned a save in game seven to defeat the San Francisco Giants?

From Quiz Game Seven

Answer: Troy Percival

Troy Percival helped the Anaheim Angels win their first World Series in franchise history.

Percival saved three of the four games which the Angels won in the 2002 World Series.

18. Who hit the first grand slam home run in the seventh game?

From Quiz World Series Game Sevens #1

Answer: Babe Ruth

22. Which Los Angeles Dodger outfielder hit a home run in game seven of the 1965 World Series to help defeat the Minnesota Twins?

From Quiz Game Seven

Answer: Lou Johnson

In 1965, Lou Johnson proved to be quite valuable for the Los Angeles Dodgers in game seven of the World Series. The left fielder belted a solo home run off Twins' lefty Jim Kaat in the fourth inning, and Dodgers' ace lefty Sandy Koufax made that run stand up. Los Angeles won game seven by the score of 2-0 to capture the World Series crown. Johnson batted .296 during the '65 Series with two home runs. Wes Parker and Jim Lefebvre played infield for the 1965 Dodgers, and Johnny Roseboro was a catcher on that team.

Newhouser was the MVP for his regular season heroics in 1945, and he continued to shine in the World Series with complete game victories in both games 5 and 7.

26. Which Cardinal hard slide into third resulted in a 20-minute delay in game 7 of the 1934 World Series, when frustrated Tiger fans pelted the field with food and bottles?

From Quiz World Series 7th Games
