Let me know if you guys think these quesitons are lame. If they are I'll stop. I have a lot of free time on my hands (plus I do stats for the giants and A's so I have binders full of this stuff) so this is an interesting way to fill in the down time.
Next RBI question...
12 times in world series history has a player reached base 5 or more times in one game. It was done three times by NES RBI players. Can you name them? Here's a hint it was done in 81', 85', and 87'. (The of reaching base the most times in a game is 6, done by Kenny lofton 3 bb, 2 1b, 1 2b October 24, 1995 )
My guesses are Guerrero, Brett and Puckett. Are any of these right?
I'd guess Brett for '85, but as for the other 2 years I have no clue?
Good guesses!!! Here's the answer.
Reaching base five times or more in a game
