Baseball Photo Trivia

So basically, if we're going by what MLB thinks, Anson finished his career with zero RBI, since he played before 1920.

Absurd.

Made a total of 2 PA for the Angels...

Funny aside... notice the name on the bat?

That's the great Ryan Langerhans, what's funny about the bat is Mathis wasn't on the team that year.

I barely remember him being on the team.... I don't remember his story and why is stay was so short... (yes, I know he sucked).

The man on the left helped the man on the right to win an MVP award.

The man on the left is in the Hall of Fame.

I got...

 

[fan_since79]

They're both pitchers.

Man on the left was the first to use the slider, and he won 212 games.

Chief Bender and Bobby Shantz?

[fan_since79]

Well that was quick!

[Angel Oracle]

The photo helped.   I recognized both right away.   Not to mention that very few 5 1/2 foot tall pitchers ever won an MVP, like Shantz did in 1952.

Break time for me, so that others can have their turn guessing correctly.

Cliff Clavin strikes again.

Bobby Shantz at 93 is the oldest living former MVP.

A photo from last year at the baseball field named in his honor at his old high school in Pottstown, PA.

He won an MVP with the A's and played twice as long with them as with the Yankees but he wears that hat? Someone should kick that old bastard in the nuts

Perfect score is the game, the year, and the significance.

I don't know the answer, but man oh man - what a great pitcher Bob Gibson was.  Guys like him and Don Drysdale really knew how to intimidate batters.  Baseball is missing that today.  The Nolan Ryan's, the Randy Johnson's, and guys like them. No one in the history of the game probably wore that better than Gibson.  Just an out and out bad-ass.

That is the game when Ralston went 5 for 4 with 6 home runs against Gibson.  

[T.G.]

I'll take a wild guess..

9/22/1975 - Bob Gibson's last game.

[Angel Oracle]

I know the answers, but letting someone else guess them right first.   Claven sitting this one out

[fan_since79]

Take your attention off Gibson for a moment.

[Angel Oracle]

Only things standing out to me are the Skanks runner completing a HR trot and a sign for Mike Shannon.

It just came to me.    Letting someone else guess it

[fan_since79]

Has nothing to do with Shannon.

So that narrows it down.

Exactly, my guess was based on something else.   It's in a personal e-mail to you, so that someone else can have fun guessing it on here.
