Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. I am a Hall of Famer catcher. I played my entire 17 seasons with the Yankees. I went to eight World Series and won seven. Who am I?

Answer: Bill Dickey

Dickey was the Yankees' catcher from 1928-1946. He played with many Yankee greats including Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, and a ton of others. He retired with a .313 career average. Bill was an all-star 11 times, and was the AL MVP runner-up in 1938 to Boston's Jimmie Foxx.

2. This baseball Dick played for eight seasons in the American League in the 1960s. He later became manager of the New York Yankees, then Kansas City Royals. Which Dick is he?

Answer: Dick Howser

Howser played for the Athletics, Indians, and Yankees, mostly as a shortstop. After retiring from the infield in 1968, he took the reins of the Yankees in 1978, taking them to a World Series title.

Answer: Dick Allen

In 15 seasons, Allen pounded out 351 home runs. He won his 1972 AL MVP over Joe Rudi and Sparky Lyle, although his career season was in 1966, smacking 166 hits, 40 home runs, and a .317 average.

4. Which Dick split his playing career between the Dodgers and Tigers, then later managed the Tigers?

Answer: Dick Tracewski

The infielder played for the Dodgers from 1962-1965 and saw every bit of Sandy Koufax's greatness. From 1966-1969, he was a Detroit Tiger, and witnessed two more great pitchers in Denny McLain and Mickey Lolich.

5. This 16-season Dick played 14 in the Detroit Tiger infield from 1960-1973. The three-time all-star led the AL in runs in 1968. Who is he?

Answer: Dick McAuliffe

McAuliffe joined Bill Freehan, Mickey Lolich and company in 1968 to Dick's only World Series. He made it count with a game-three home run, in the four games to three win over the Cardinals.

6. This Dick was nicknamed 'Ugly'. He played mostly for the Pittsburgh Pirates, and retired in 1945 as a White Sox outfielder. Who was he?

Answer: Johnny Dickshot

Dickshot's best season was his last in 1945. He had 147 hits and hit .300 for the first time in his career with his .302 average. He committed only 16 errors in his career in the outfield. Johnny also played for the Giants, and unfortunately never saw a World Series game. He died in 1997 in his birth town of Waukegan, IL.

7. This Chicago Cub Dick was consistent on the mound during the 1960s, then it was on to the Phillies, Red Sox, Indians, and Brewers, before retiring in 1971. Who was this Dick?

Answer: Dick Ellsworth

Ellsworth was the only Dick listed who was a pitcher. The 1960s was the wrong time for Ellsworth, as he was over-shadowed by the NL greats of Juan Marichal, Sandy Koufax, Jim Maloney, and Bob Gibson. Dick went 22-10 in 1963.

Answer: Dick Radatz

Radatz was also an Indian, a Cub, and an Tiger. Dick never started a game in his career, and had a 16-9 record in 1964 in Boston. He never saw a postseason game in his career either. Radatz died in March 2005.

Answer: Dick Williams

Williams played a lot of his career as an outfielder, but also over 250 games as a third baseman. After retiring with Boston in 1964, Dick took the reins of the Red Sox in 1967, and took them to the World Series, but lost to the Cardinals. In 1972 and 1973, he took the Oakland Athletics to two World Series titles, before allowing owner Charles Finley to break up their dynasty due to salary disputes.

His final managerial season was 1988 with the Padres.

Answer: Dick Stuart

Stuart had power and hit 228 home runs in his 10-season career. He hit 42 with the 1963 Red Sox. After retiring as an Angel in 1969, Dick died in Redwood City, Ca. in 2002.
