do not use br, bp or anything else but your brain. cheating is for losers.

 

 

 

who is the only pitcher since 1900 to have 300 strikeouts in one season, but fail to eclipse 200 in any other season?

Got to be a one year wonder. Prior? David Clyde? Sid Finch?

lol Sidd Finch. Prior struck out 245 iirc in 03. Clyde never had a full season iirc. the answer has 200 career wins, winning 20 three times. not a one year wonder.

Complete guess... Sam McDowell?

poor guess. sudden sam was a k god back in the 60s. you shoulda known he had 300 ks twice alone.

:lol: He said Sid Finch. :lol:

 

 

 

I know, but I admit to checking myself before posting, lol

[Mephistopheles]

youre a yankee fan so it comes as no surprise that you cheated.

LMAO. I didn't cheat, cheating would be giving you the answer and letting you think I was right, I had two names, so I checked myself. Plus I didn't give away your answer.

[DenverCubs]

Would've said Dwight Gooden...but I don't think he had 200 wins.

I just looked it up, I'd have never gotten the correct answer. Good question. =D>

Sandy Koufax

 

...........nevermind

I was thinking Fernando Valenzuela but I never realized he never had more than 240ish in a season. So now I'm still guessing.

[UMFan83]

BTW, can we make this the official trivia thread and keep asking questions like this. I love stuff like this.

 

 

I just made a list of 5 people I thought it was, and it wasn't any of them. So I guessed one more and on the 7th guess I got it. I have to admit it was a shot in the dark too because I knew little about this man's career.

 

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I'll be damned, I actually know this one.

[Pushfrog98]

I asked my co-worker because I kept thinking it was Pedro, but he had 2 seasons of 300+ and had several of 200... he said, "Oh, that's easy, it's

Vida Blue

"

Unfortunately it's not "my" brain, but he loves baseball trivia, so I thought he'd count.

[cbbryan]

Nolan Ryan........................ nevermind, not him either.

[TruffleShuffle]

damn, i thought i had it right with this guy, but he did have another year with more than 200 K's. not sure why his name immediately jumped to my mind... i guess i knew he had 300 K's in a year but didn't do a whole lot outside of that.

[The Voice of Reason]

Babe Ruth.

[Backtobanks]

J.R.Richard?

[Rob]

I know this one, but that's because I had already been asked this as a trivia question.

[Mephistopheles]

Mike Scott and JR Richard were excellent guesses. Scott (and Blue) would have been the first two names to pop in my head if someone asked me the question, I think. Maybe a guy like Pete Alexander or someone from that generation as well. 300 Ks was not uncommon before 1920, but after it was a different story and he straddled the explosion.

[OleMissCub]

I consider myself a baseball history nerd, and I was completely mystified by this. So I looked it up. It's interesting that he never got more than 200 except that once.

Without cheating....youngest and oldest players to hit .400

[haltz]

You posing the question made the oldest too easy. I'm pretty sure it's Cobb. My guess for the youngest is Ted Williams, but I don't know about that.

I'm guessing here but here goes nothing:

 

Youngest: Rogers Hornsby

 

Oldest: Ted Williams
