Old Judge Trivia Question Thread
Posted By: Dan Bretta
Of the known dates of deaths of the players pictured on the Old Judge cards (estimate 70% of all players births and deaths are known) only two players lived in to the 1960's. Who was the last player to say "I was pictured in the Old Judge set"? and who was second to last? |

Hoy is correct Fred. Do you know who the other player was that lived in to the 1960s? |

I think John is right with John Weyhing. On a related note, Alex McKinnon may have already been dead by the time his 1887 Old Judge card was distributed. He passed away in July of 1887. |

Weyhing was only 20,Im sure of it. 1869-1890. Don't know for sure if hes the right answer but I am at work right now so its hard to check |

John--In the majors or just in professional baseball? Jim O'Rourke and Lave Cross both played until at least 1912. |

Darn it... I go away after my last edit and look at all the good questions that came up! Yes John, you were right. For some reason or other I thought Weyhing was much older until I double checked the answer. Now back to you Alec.... The double jeopardy categories are: |

McKinnon died of typhoid fever mid-season 1887,shortly after his card was released. Pictures for the 1887 Pirates team set were probably taken early-May because Jim McCormick isnt pictured with the team(Chicago uni),he started playing for them May 13th that year, and neither is Ed Beecher who joined the team in late June but Bill Bishop is on the team and he was gone by Mid-June |

Why does Charlie Bennett have only one pose, and it's with Boston (not a trivia question, but a factual one)? |

Good story Joshua...but the mystery of why there is no Bennett card issued before 1889 remains. |

Does it have something to do with him being traded from Detroit? Im assuming it has nothing to do with him losing his legs? |

Bennett should have been issued an 1887 card just as teammates Lady Baldwin, Pete Conway, Pretzel Getzien, and Deacon White should have. All, except Bennett, would be picked up in 1888. Other players who joined the set later than expected include Anson, Ewing, and many other less notable players. |

Joe- I am most impressed that you spell "Getzien" correctly. I don't believe a single baseball card got it right. As you noted in the book, everyone misspelled it. |

OJ players born outside of the US: Pop Smith was born in Digby Nova Scotia in 1858. (Canada wasn't officially a country until 1867) |

Max--Our attorneys inform us that Smith's bio says he "came out of Canada" not that he was born in Canada. Thus, assuming he left Nova Scotia at an age after nine we are correct. And while we are at it, none of us inhaled. LOL |

Through some odd search I came up with this thread.
Incredible trivia information to know now that i've been collecting OJs. I'd love to see this revived to learn more about the OJ set... Anyone? |

This will be an easy one
Which member of the Old Judge set was a pennant winning manager in more than one league and died before 1900?

There Were Two, Right?
Harry Wright (the obvious one, I think) in the NA and the NL; Bill McGunnigle in the AA and the NL.

I'll throw one out there that can be easily looked up, but interesting none-the-less.
How many left handed single-season 40 game winners are there? Which ones can be found in the Old Judge set.

One Wolverine, Of Course! : )
Single-season strikeout leader, Matt Kilroy; Ed Morris and Detroiter Charles Busted "Lady" Baldwin.
Here's one...what member of the Old Judge set is the all-time leader in hit batsmen? |
#47
|
|||
|
|||
Phil Knell with 54 hit batsmen in 1891.
Here's another Old Judge question. Who is the only Hall of Famer wearing a glove in an Old Judge pose? |
#48
|
||||
|
||||
Knell Is Incorrect
Knell is a single-season leader, not the all-time leader.
And Delahanty is wearing a glove. |

I thought Walter Johnson hit the most batters in his career
