From what I've read, Maurice Richard was closer to Mike Tyson than Scott Hamilton. He was a nasty piece or work

Jason and Travis Kelce?

Dang. You are right. There are 3 relatively active brothers in the NFL right now with the potential of accomplishing the feat.

I don’t follow nascar, but I assume there are some there as well?

Are Venus and Serena in the HOF yet?

The NASCAR HOF has only been around for 15 years, yet there are already 2 sets of brothers in there. Bobby and Donnie Allison, and Maurice and Richard Petty.

IDK if Open Wheel racing has a HOF. If they did, you would have to believe the Under brothers would be in. With a good chance of the Andretti brothers being in.

Yikes...no I am not

He was called into a game to make his MLB debut. As he got to the mound to do his on-field warmup pitches, he blew out his elbow. He officially entered the game, but didn’t throw a single pitch. He never pitched professionally again.

Think you are a baseball buff? OK, I have three guaranteed to keep you up at night. First one is moderately tough. The second and third are a little tougher.
1. Which player hit safely in all 14 World Series games he played in?
2. Which pitcher had the most career strikeouts without the benefit of ever recording a single 200+ strikeout season?
3. Which player had the lowest season batting average in a year in which he had at least 100 RBI. (Hint: this rather dubious record was held by Tony Armas for several years but was broken in recent seasons.

1 Clemente

3 I want to guess McGwire's 1998 season, but you said it was broke recently. So IDK.

in the best players thread... we talked about Pujols who had over 100 RBIs and a negative WAR... so i am going to guess him for that one...

2. sounds like an old timey pitcher like Cy young...

1. having trouble thinking of players who would have only been in 3 WS... i wanna guess Wade Boggs... but its too random of a guess to be right...
