I didn't start this, I was simply pointing out that there was an error made, and another poster got slighted. Tell me what is possibly wrong with doing that?

But then the response/defense from some on here, escalating what was a simple factual statement of fact, got in the way once again. And then when I do respond in my defense, I get chastised for daring to defend myself. Had the OP just said they missed the post with the right answer, or that maybe their question wasn't quite as clear as they thought, that would have been a super way to handle it. I never intended to make another post in this thread after that one. I had said my peace and had already let the subject go.........till others then started on me.

Now go look in a mirror and repeat to yourself exactly what you were saying to me in your quote above.

[Peter_Spaeth]

You did it in an unncessarily contentious way, like it was a courtroom -- anticipating his response and then repudiating it, etc. Then you doubled down. You easily could have made the same point in a light non confrontational way. It's just a trivia question, if Ted didn't frame it well, so what, once we saw his answer we knew what he meant.

Sorry Mike, didn't intend to put you in the middle of something. LOL But I thought you should get credit for the right answer. And you'll notice all the naysayers have accused me of being harsh or ungracious, but none of them have said anything to actually show or prove I was wrong in what I said. Funny how that works, isn't it?

I'm just waiting for my 1st place prize...one week in Cleveland right? I hear 2nd prize is 2 weeks in Cleveland. LOL

Blocklists are great for people who flip out over trivia.

There will probably be some cool Maris/Judge combo cards next year if he hits 1 or more homers to commemorate the event.

Peter.....Why are you wasting your time with this jerk, (Bob C) ?

Mike Richardson (post #19) only alluded to 2 right-fielders....not 3, which was the answer I was looking for.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He has HI-JACKED ! this thread with his persistent "broken-record bull-crap" ! !

He's the one who should apologize to all of us....as he mis-interpreted the 2nd part of this quiz.

A picture is worth "1000 words". And, I posted my THREE cards of of the BB players involved in this TRIVIA quiz. Perhaps, he is mathematically- challenged....and, only counts TWO.
Or, most likely he belongs to the "toxic -social-media" crowd, and thinks he can get away with his "toxicity" on Net54.

Hey man.....we are waiting for your APOLOGY.....or get the hell off my thread ! And NEVER again post your crap on any of my Net54 threads.

Actually, your wording was When Aaron Judge hits his 61 HR's, 2 coincidences result. The answer of Judge and Maris hitting 61 and being right fielders is correct. Since Ruth didn't hit 61, why would you include him unless you meant that they all hit over 60 and played right field...which means it wouldn't matter if Judge hit 61 or not. No big deal really, just not worded in the way you wanted the answer.

Exactly what I'd expect from you, along with comments about how you seem to know exactly what people did or didn't mean. And quit trying to put words in my mouth or telling me what I was or wasn't trying to do. I didn't double-down on anything or try to be contentious. I merely stated what looked to me to have been a previously given correct answer by someone, given what the OP finally said the answer was.

And did it ever occur to you that I pointed out my reasoning for why I believed the OP's question was flawed so that I at least tried to support my position and opinion? Had I simply said mr2686 already gave the correct answer, and nothing else, I would likely have been shot down and chastised by the likes of you or others anyway for daring to say something you may have thought of as stupid, and with no logic, reason, or evidence to support it. If there's one thing I've learned from this forum, it's to state your reasoning, logic, and evidence up front so you can't be put down for not having any. But I guess that doesn't work or help either because even when you do state up front why you believe something, people, like yourself maybe, will then just take and twist that and try to find another way to blame you and make it look to others like you'reyy the one who was wrong.

But wait, that's right, you know more accurately what I'm thinking and what I mean than I ever could. Thank God you told me I was trying to be mean and confrontational with someone else, I thought I was just being honest and factual. I am so glad you can discern from my printed words exactly what my thoughts and intentions were. (And yes, that is pure sarcasm directed at you for having the audacity to tell me that I somehow didn't know what I meant or was thinking, but you do. How dare you!)

And in the meantime, like I've seen and encountered from so many contrarians and naysayers on this site before, when you ask them a direct question for which they apparently have no supporting evidence or logic to answer you with, they invariably seem to ignore your question and don't respond or answer, probably out of fear it would prove them wrong, and then they'd have to admit it. I'm still waiting for someone to respond to my question about how the OP's question regarding Judge and Maris hitting 61 homers really has anything to do with Ruth since he never hit 61 in a season, and then why anyone would logically and automatically assume that since the first part answer to his question specifically excluded Ruth, why would anyone then knowingly assume Ruth was included in the second part of the answer.

A few posters did seem to agree with my logic, but no one has proffered any info or evidence to really refute me. Oh, Peter did point to the OP including a card of Ruth in his initial post as evidence of the intention to include Ruth in the answer, but we all have seen threads where posted cards/images don't have anything to do with the actual topic of the thread. And if the OP's intention was to include Ruth in the question after all, then why wasn't Ruth included in the answer in part one of the question.

I am sorry to anyone reading this and wondering why I'm carrying on, but if there's one thing about me you should know, I am not going to back down from anyone's bullsh@t and bullying. And if you're going to try to accuse and/or start something with me, I am most definitely going to try and finish it.

In the title of this thread, I noted that this was a 2-part quiz.

The 1st part was quickly answered correctly by Mac W (see above Quote).

The correct answer to 2nd part was simply...."all three played in RF for the Yankees".

And, no one provided this answer.

Those very simply were the 2 coincidences.

And, you just said it..... "No big deal really". Perhaps, I should have stated the question more clearly.
But, what has resulted in this thread is a damn shame.

I've been posting on Net54 for 18 years, and have never seen such craziness....over something so simple.

I'm commenting on how your post came across, not what your private intent was. Massive straw man. And I think most people would find this pretty confrontational:

"And before you even try to go and say it doesn't count because he didn't also include Ruth, remember it was you who originally asked about the coincidences if/when Judge should hit his 61st home run."

It's just an innocent trivia question, dude - not even Final Jeopardy.

Is it that have 9s in the uniform numbers?

Also, why is a Babe Ruth card in the post?

This is a sensitive subject.

[Peter_Spaeth]

This is degenerating into farce.

[FrankWakefield]

Congrats to Aaron Judge, and the Yankee fans out there.

[Fred]

If Judge hits it on October 1, then they both hit it on October 1 against the same team and exactly 61 years apart.

Edited to add, just caught up with the rest of the thread. I should have stopped reading after the fist page...

And now I just read Judge hit the HR today (Wednesday, 28SEP22) in another country. Sheesh... Apple pie, Chevrolet, eh hoser...

[ullmandds]

im glad he finally got that over with!!!

Now is the OP known for making similar funny and joking posts and doing other oddball and off-the-wall stuff occasionally, or more for being the serious and well-informed long-time collector and resident T206 expert, who pretty much always comes across as factual, knowledgeable, and correct, and is really never wrong?

The OP doesn't normally, to my knowledge at least, ever really act much like Frank in the way and manner he posts and discusses things. So why do you then suddenly invoke how someone else acts and interacts on the forum as a possible reason to defend or explain away what someone else does or doesn't do on the forum? Relevance counselor, relevance. What does how Frank posts and interacts with others here have to do with how the OP does, or otherwise explain his actions?

Quite frankly (pun fully intended), had it been Frank who had posed the original question the OP did, I wouldn't have posted anything. Knowing Frank, he probably would have made some hilarious comment regarding mr2686's response to begin with, or joked about his own mistake in how he posed the question.

And I already responded and dismissed your comment about the Ruth card image in this thread in a previous post.

OMG!!!

Now it looks like I need a lawyer (anyone but Spaeth)

Ted and i are "buds". I would never pull his leg, because I cannot bend over far enough.
