Just looked it up.

I would have preferred it was a pitcher who did it, but the player who did it is interesting.

If it was Robin Ventura that would be ironically funny.

True but sadly, no

 

[msgkings322]

Hit in the head by Ryan, but not from a pitch.

Pretty good career and that's all anyone will remember. Ventura has a good attitude about it, always says when he did it he was thinking "what the heck am I doing?" but it was too late to stop LOL

Dammit. Okay gonna give this one more try. There has to be some kinda current connection. Ryan played for the Rangers and they just gotta new manager. Bruce Bochy? If that's not it I give up.

Here's one for everybody to think about. In 1996, which player, known for his play at 3B, made an error in his only chance at SS?

Was gonna say Scott Rolen but he was a rookie that year.

Cal Ripken?

Let me rephrase. This player had only 1 career chance at SS and he made an error.

Right but I figured it wouldn't be Rolen because why would they put the rookie out of position?

Chipper Jones fits the time period but he's more known for his play at Hooters.

But what the hell, I'll guess Chipper anyway.

 

[Cedrique]

If I get two guesses I'll go with Vinny Castilla as my next guess.

Robin Ventura?

 

[catman]

None of those guys.

Chipper was my first guess, but you already rudely shot that one down, sooooo…


David Wright? Was ‘96 before his time?

Brett had already retired by ‘96, hadn’t he?

Camanitti (no idea how to spell his name)

Wright came up in 2004.

hmm... Jeff Cirillo?

 

[Cedrique]

Could it be Beltre? I know he was in the league forever but '96 was a long time ago.

 

[Cedrique]

Wait, I think I know but I can't spell it. Gary Gaetti?

you spelled it right.
