You are correct! Here is a photo of the only known ticket to Cheney's 21K record setting game in 1962. I also just picked up a Cheney signed check to add to my collection over the weekend. Here's a toast to ML baseball's only 21K man! |

You and Mike are absolutely correct. Neccai struck out 27 batters and no-hit Bristol in the game. What an awesome game! BTW, here are my Cheney and Neccai signed and inscribed baseballs that I have in my personal collection that make note of both of these games. |
Are not the other 2
Tyrus Raymond Cobb and one Rusty Staub
|
I would have thought maybe Robin Yount. Guess he didn't last to 40?

Ok, here we go with a two parter.
Part One is brutally difficult,,, no googling please,, 1-Who were the players involved the only time a Jewish pitcher faced a Jewish batter (and actually the catcher was also Jewish). 2-Who were the players involved the first time a black pitcher faced a black batter. |
I knew it was Cobb and Staub too, although I didn't know Sheffield. But Rich got to it before I did.:(
How about a non baseball trivia question: who is the oldest living Oscar winner (no cheating)? |
Are you sure there is only one time
|
And I can check this out
But I think it was in 1949 wth either Bankhead or Newcombe v a member of the NY Giants (Hank Thompson perhaps)

But you are right Drabowsky vs Epstein is the second time it happened. I was reading it too fast, the page I read said the first Jewish batter vs the first Jewish pitcher with a Jewish catcher. Sorry, sorry. |
