Baseball Photo Trivia

[T.G.]

There's something terribly wrong with doing Yankee trivia on an Angels board.

No soup for you!

Obviously Schmidt failed miserably in trying to recruit Piazza to play for the Phillies instead of a West coast team.

Enos Slaughter was a part time player for the Yankees, and was in the lineup the day of Larsen's perfect game. Not sure what number he wore (9 or 17), but I think this picture is from that game.

Beat me by seconds,17 for the Yanks is Slaughter.

[Angel Oracle]

It was Slaughter's second tour with the Yankees, previous one was in 1954, and then acquired by the A's early in 1955, and then re-acquired by the Yankees during the 1956 season.

The KC A's became essentially a "minor league" team for the Yankees in the mid/late 1950s, with the Yankees acquiring a lot of players from the A's.   Most famous acquisition was Roger Maris, after the 1959 season. 

Forgot that Gil Hodges never made the HOF.   He died way too young, early in the 1972 season while still managing the Mets. 

[fan_since79]

Hodges should be in the Hall, imo.

#17, left fielder

0-2 with a BB. He went 7-20 in the Series total, with 1 HR and 4 RBI

Yogi had a great Series: 3 HR, 10 RBI, OPS of 1.248

[Angel Oracle]

Hammerin' Hank Aaron ties Babe Ruth's MLB career record 714 HRs in Cincinnati on opening day in 1974.

The pitcher seems to be Jack Billingham.

[fan_since79]

His first swing of the new season.

Billingham it is.

Bullshit.

Ballentine is not a Hall of Fame beer.

[Blarg]

Where does it say that?

[fan_since79]

Speaking of beers, I had to go to three different stores on St. Patrick's Day to find Harp Lager. No longer carried by the big supermarkets.

In 1937 Gerald "Gee" Walker became the only player in baseball history to do this on Opening Day.

hit an inside the park homer.

[fan_since79]

Nope, but good guess.

The term for the thing that he did was first coined that day by a sportswriter.

Hit for the cycle?
