How many did CC have the year he was traded? I swear 75% of his Milwaukee starts we’re CG (thought he only had like 15 starts for them)

He had 10 total that year.

Here's a fun non-stat one (non-HOF):

Question #143:

Since 1990, these two players were both shortstops, both wore #11 for a Canadian team, both wore #8 for a Florida team, both finished their careers with an OPS+ of 79, and both played in the exact same Championship Series in the 2000s.

Oh, they also have the same name.

Who are they?

BUT...had 7 with Brewers and led the NL!

The number of career similarities is ridiculous.

Led the NL in CG and ShO.  Weirdly good year, I'd say.

Question #144

This HOFer post 1950, was called up for his first major league season and for just a bit more than a cup of coffee. During that short time in majors he hit 4 triples...to go with the 17 he hit in the minors that season to lead the minors......then in his long career he never had a season of more than 6 triples and only 2x surpassed the 4 he had in just over a month.

Name this HOFer

Without having any clue, I’d say it’s the highest anyone has ever finished in CYA playing less than half the games for that team. Beleive he ended up fourth in voting with like 15 starts (so, on the team for roughly 75-80 games)

Al Kaline and Jimmie Foxx both had short call ups. But doubt either had the triples.

Jeter?

Eddie Murray.

Fisk?
Reggie?
McCovey?

Killebrew?
Gary Carter?
Bags?

I was thinking about Willie Mays, then, naw, he was fast. So I thought of another Willie......McCovey, which O-Trap already guessed. I think it is him.

LOL  He led the minors in triples that year?  That's insane.

I meant the one above McCovey that O-Trap guessed.
;-)

Question #145:

This pitcher is the only HOFer in the last 50 years to post 150 Ks during his rookie campaign.

I think it might be the Cleveland Indian Dennis Eckersley.

And then Rick Manning stole his wife.

Nice call.  It was.  Ecks posted 152 Ks his rookie season.

Also, LOL on the second part.
