Default 1950's Player Quiz
I thought it might be fun to post little interesting quiz questions about players from the 1950's, and let the members try to answer. I'll start:

Can you name him? This player retired in his early thirties as major-league baseball expanded westward, due to an intense fear of flying. After being a two-sport star in college, he was the first man to play in the Rose Bowl, the World Series, and the MLB All-Star Game.

Name a pitcher ( maybe the only one) to win a WS game in three different decades?

I swear I didn’t cheat by looking him up but I did double check my guess because I couldn’t remember if he won a game in the 1983 World Series, Jim Palmer.

Pretty sure that Whitey Ford won a game in the 1950 WS, then of course, several more in the '50's and 60's. By the way, as most numerologists know, decades begin with a year ending in the number one, and end with a year ending in zero.

Can you name, in order, the 5 winningest Major League Baseball teams from 1950 to 1959 by regular season winning percentage?
