trivia question

[Rob]

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.

 

 

Given that it's OMC, I wouldn't be surprised if the answer to both questions is Cobb.

Shoeless Joe hit .400 early in his career too.

[Yanksfan1523]

Shoeless Joe Jackson was the youngest. I thought Williams was the oldest, but I can see Cobb as well. One of the two for oldest.

One of them is Cobb, yes. But, oldest or youngest? And who is the other.

I seriously did consider that.

 

 

I think cbbryan has it.

 

Williams hit .400 once and it was pre-war, so there's no way he's the oldest.

Correct on Jackson. Tyrone was the oldest.

This one might be easy. There are 5 players out there that have hit more than 50 HRs in one season, but in no other season in their careers hit 40 or more. Can you name these 5 players?

 

The spoiler window will contain a hint for anyone who wants one. If you don't want a hint, do not open the spoiler.

 

 

Here are the decades that the players 50+ HR season occured:

 

30's - 1

60's - 1

90's - 1

00's - 2

I think you're forgetting someone if you only have 1 in this decade

Prince Fielder (2007) and Luis Gonzales (2001) -- Brady Anderson and Roger Maris are 2 more, I'm not sure about the 5th (or 6th if there were 2 in the 90's)
