Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. This C shared 19 seasons between the Twins and the Angels. He won all his seven batting titles with the Twins, and none with the Angels. Who is this Hall of Fame infielder?

Answer: Rod Carew

Rod played from 1967-1985. When he was traded to the Angels in February 1979 for four Angels, he felt betrayed and would never win another batting title. Carew would never make it to a World Series in his career. He was inducted into the hall in 1991.

Answer: Eddie Cicotte

Cicotte played most of his career with the White Sox, and is most noted for his role in the 1919 Black Sox Scandal with the rigging of the World Series. 1919 was the second time that he led the league in wins with his 29-7 record. Other notables such as the great Joe Jackson were also banned from the game in 1920 for their participation in the scandal.

Answer: Gary Carter

Gary was an Expo from 1974-1984, then was traded to the Mets for four players. He also won two All-Star MVP awards. Carter's two home runs came in the 1986 World Series in a win over the Red Sox. Cooperstown took Gary in 2003.

4. This pitcher played most of his career with the Braves. He had three great seasons with them from 1964-1966. He is most noted for hitting two grand slams in one game. Who is this pitching C?

Answer: Tony Cloninger

Cloninger gave himself and the Braves an early Fourth of July party in 1966. On July 3, he smacked to grand slams against the Giants in a 17-3 win. In the three seasons listed, Tony went 19-14, 24-11, and 14-11. Ironically, in two of those seasons he also led the league in wild pitches. He retired with a 113-97 record.

Answer: Orlando Cepeda

Cepeda was the third punch on the Giants team behind Mays and McCovey. Orlando was traded to the Cardinals in May 1967, one for one, for pitcher Ray Sadecki. Cepeda's career still blossomed while Sadecki went down the tubes. Orlando was inducted into the hall in 1999.

6. This Hall of Fame C played for only two seasons, both with the White Sox. He was inducted into to hall as someone other than a player. Who is he?

Answer: Jocko Conlan

Conlan was an outfielder in 1934 and 1935 in Chicago. He became a certified umpire in the National League in 1941, and kept to it for 25 seasons. His very first taste of umpiring was in 1935 in a game against the St. Louis Browns. An umpire fell ill, and they asked Jocko to hang up his White Sox uniform and umpire the game, which he did.

He was inducted into the hall as an umpire in 1974. Jocko died in 1989 at the age of 89.

Answer: Bob Cain

Major League Baseball changed its rules within weeks after the Gaedel incident, so another fiasco such as this would never happen again. Cain pitched for only five seasons and retired in 1953. Little Eddie was mugged and killed in 1961 in Chicago. Cain was the only baseball figure to attend Eddie's funeral.

Answer: Fred Clarke

The Pirates lost the first World Series in 1903 against the Boston Americans. One reason for the Pirates' success was Honus Wagner, Chief Zimmer, Deacon Phillippe, and others who Fred brought from the Colonels to Pittsburgh.

9. This C played first base for the Dodgers and Cubs in the 1950s, then moved on to become an American television actor named Lucas McCain. Who is this C?

Answer: Chuck Connors

Kevin Joseph Aloysius "Chuck" Connors only played for two seasons, and hit two home runs with the Cubs in 1951, but that was it for his baseball career. He starred in many movies, but was most famous for the television series, "The Rifleman", and played the character Lucas McCain. Johnny Crawford co-starred in the series as his son Mark.

10. This C batted for a Triple Crown, won the very first American League MVP Award, and won 11 batting titles. Who is this Hall of Fame great?

Answer: Ty Cobb

Cobb was a Detroit Tiger from 1905-1926, then he was traded to the Philadelphia Athletics. Known for his bat, dirty play, and temper, nothing would stand in Cobb's way during a game. This would include fans who Cobb was also noted for jumping into the stands at them. His MVP came in 1911. Ty was one of the first five inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1936.
