Ultimate Baseball Trivia

[Angel Oracle]

Not Gonzalez, he was acquired later on during the 1970 season.

[Redondo]

It's Voss

[Redondo]

Had me guessing and scratching my head.

[Angel Oracle]

Yep, and it shocks a lot of people, given he only hit 3 HRs all of the 1970 season.

[Angel Oracle]

It was a fun season, until the Twins swept them here in early September and the season unraveled.

[Redondo]

Next question:

 

Without looking....

 

What year did the Angels pitching staff have only 2 complete games?

[Redondo]

AO

 

This means we are both old and were around in the old days.

It's Voss

He had 5 RBI's. Hit a SF also. Thanks for posting that.

[Willy J.]

Twins used to regularly kill us back in those days.  . .

[Redondo]

Total guess...1966

 

Later.

[fan_since79]

Yeah, it couldn't have been 1966, we had Dean Chance then.

 

I deleted my post but you caught it.

Two walks and he threw out a runner at home plate. Pretty good game.

[Redondo]

Colon was our horse that year.

 

Lackey was a horse of a different kind.

[Angel Oracle]

I'm guessing 2004 for the two CGs.

Didn't even see the current clue before guessing that.

[Willy J.]

I'm thinking it's fairly recent as well. . .what season did Frankie get his 60 saves?  2008?

 

I'll say 2008.

Bingo.

 

Crazy that it would be so low.

Okay, shifting gears a bit:

 

Which hitter had arguably the greatest single day in baseball history? In a doubleheader, he hit five home runs, drove in 13 runs, and had 22 total bases.

What year did we have the most complete games?

Angel players or in general?

[fan_since79]

Angel players or in general?

He never played for the Angels.

[fan_since79]

What year did we have the most complete games?

Had to be one of the Ryan years. I'll guess 1973.

Nate Colbert

[fan_since79]

Colbert it is!

 

 

On August 1, 1972, San Diego Padre slugger, Nate Colbert, had the greatest hitting performance in Major League history during a doubleheader. That day, he hit five home runs, knocked in 13 and had 22 total bases. Coincidently, as a youngster, Nate was in the stands with his dad in St. Louis on May 2, 1954 when he witnessed Stan "The Man" Musial hit five home runs in a doubleheader. That day, he told his father that he wanted to do that someday.

Great guess. 72 in one season.

 

What a wide spectrum. 2 in 2004 and 72 in 1973
