Just reg'lr trivia?

[BigDDude]

In the famous meltdown game in the 1986 World Series, the Mets rallied in the bottom of the 10th to win the improbable game.

Clemens started the game and Bob Stanley gave up the croquet shot to Buckner to end it. Who was the losing pitcher? (He also was the loser in Game 7.)

Was it Calvin Sheraldi (sp) ?

Name the 4 HOFer who started and ended their MLB careers in the same city, but different teams.

You got the 3 easy ones (and good for you, usually people get stumped past Mays)...

Yogi Berra ? NY Yankees & Mets ?

Yogi Berra ? NY Yankees & Mets ?

You are right, so he has to be the 4th.

For what it is worth, I mess up in asking trivia questions A LOT.

That is why I stick to just answering them.

How about Dizzy Dean? Started for the Cards, and ended with the Browns?

This just may get out of hand ugly.

I say that, as I think Jimmy Foxx ended with the Phillies, and I KNOW he stated with the Philly A;s.

This is the one I was looking for.

I always figured there were others, but I have never had anyone come up with others whenever I have asked the question, so I stuck with 4. Now it is at 6

Ruth (Red Sox, Braves)
Aaron (Braves, Brewers)
Mays (Giants, Mets)
Foxx (A's, Phillies)

Berra (Yankees, Mets)
Dean (Cardinals, Browns)

Better make it 7...

Nap Lajoie started his career with the Phillies, and ended up with the A's

Lambeaux-

Nice Av of my Ex's azz.

I believe another one is Ron Santo. He played a year with the White Sox.

The other answers were: Yes on Schriraldi.
The outfielder who blundered 3 times was Willie Davis.

 

[calsnowskier]

I will take blame for Berra, Dean, and Lajoie, but Santo is brand new.

 

[JohnU]

This pitcher was 0-3 for the Yankees in the 1981 World Series.

 

[Redsfan1507]

Todd's father ?

 

[BigDDude]

This pitcher was 0-3 for the Yankees in the 1981 World Series.

I have no idea. However, thinking of the 1981 series, it does bring back good memories.

 

[JohnU]

Todd's father ?

Could be.
Down goes Frazier!
