Not Ernie. It happened before he was playing.
just taking a stab. If it wasn't someone famous I have zero chance. But now that I have a better idea of the era I'll go with the odds and say Joe Dimaggio.

I looked it up and I had never even heard of that former batting title winner. But I did guess Dimaggio. who won the batting title in the AL that same year so I'll take that as being "close".

In 2002 there were 3 players in the league who later come out as homosexuals. Two of them were picked off by Barry Zito in the same inning... name the two players

The first? Damn these questions are hard for anyone under 90. Anyway, I'll go with Pie Traynor, because I know he played a long time ago.

Here's a bit of trivia I just learned from an oldtimer. Apparently if you have an IRA you have to take out a certain percentage when you are 72. By the time you're 116 you have to take out all of it. In case you were wondering why all the Walmart greeters look like they are 117 years old.
