A Trivia Question
Without peeking at the record books!!!!!.....During the 20th century, there were five different pitchers that each won 35 or more games during a season...how many can you name without cheating?

I got 4 answers before checking
Chesbro and Walsh for sure
Possibly Mathewson and McGinnity I did look this up and my 5th guess was wrong (GC Alexander) Regards Rich |
Walter Johnson was 36-7, I believe in 1913.
And Matty won 37. (and I didn't look them up). |
1904 Jack Chesbro 41-12
1908 Ed Walsh 40-15 1908 Christy Mathewson 37-11 1913 Walter Johnson 36-7 1904 Joe McGinnity 35-8 Good job, fellas! My next question will have to be super obscure. |
Let's start a new one: name all the players who got 7 or more hits in a major league game. I can name five, but there may be more.

That's three. The other two I know were done in a 10 inning game, and a 22 inning game (there's a hint).
|
Name a post deadball era pitcher who lost 24 games one year and 22 the next.
|
Peter- they haven't finished answering mine yet. But I can give the answers.
The other two are Cesar Guitierrez(sp) and Rocky Colavito. |
Peter- could it be someone who pitched for the Mets in 1962 and 1963?
|
Oh sorry Barry I thought it was answered.
|
Mets is right.
|
Maybe Carlton Willey, or one of those other guys.:confused:
If Willey is wrong, maybe Alvin Jackson? |
Roger Craig?
|
I think Max got it. I'll say Craig also.
|
Yep. Jackson had the distinction of two separate season of 8-20.
