Now, try not to cheat and go look up the answer somewhere. I want everyone's best guess at this.
Three RBI players played games in four different decades. Two of them are Nolan Ryan (66-93) and Jesse Orosco (79-03). Who is the third?
What RBI player is the only player in major league history to lead the league in batting in three different decades?

I'm refusing to look this one up.
Gary Gaetti?

Tim Raines and Julio Franco?
I know it's not Julio Franco. His rookie year was 80-81-82?
Raines or Gaetti, so far.
well, if wer'e taking multiple stabs, I'd guess either Chris Speier, Billy Bo, or perhaps Bobby Grich? I know all three of those guys played way earlier than you might think. ???
I'm pretty sure it's Ricky Henderson for the 4 decade question. For the batting crown, I'm gonna guess George Brett.

Yeah, G Brett.
Hmmm....Henderson is a great guess...I think he debuted in '79? His rookie card is definitely '80, though...
That's gotta be it.

Stop, take a deep breath, and think about this one... I'll give you a hint. The player has to be an RBIer.
Did George Brett play after 2000? I'm not sure he did.
Got it, Cal Ripken. Nah, that's not right either.
I don't think Brett did... I think JoeDirt had the right idea; it's one of those obscure guys.
According to Baseball-Reference.com (http://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/BA_leagues.shtml"), Brett won the title in '76, '80, and '90. Just barely, but he's the one.
NO CHEATING...
yeah, we're getting the guesses mixed up now. JoeDirt has already said the answer is Brett
the new reference to Brett is for the first question.

Hah! I can't believe I feel for that...yeah, then I'm sticking with either Speier, Buckner, or Grich.
If I had to crap shoot it, I'd go with Buckner...or Grich...not sure he played in the 90s, though...I guess if I had to guess, I'd say Billy Bo?
I had to look it up, and all i can say is that the answer has already been guessed... i was not right.
Was it one of my three?
I've established my order: Buckner, Grich, Speier. ???
It's fightonusc's game, so I'll let him call the winner.
You could always look up your guesses and fknmclane's though.
It's not Rickey Henderson though.
I'm almost positive Rickey got some abs in '79 and he obviously played in the 80s, 90s, and 2000s...so maybe fightonusc was including the arcade games?
TRIVIA #3 - Which two pitchers threw 9 shutouts in a single season?
EDIT: WHICH 3 PITCHERS DID THIS?
TOTAL guess: Blyleven and Ryan?
Actually, Blyleven is a pretty solid guess for the first question...I'd maybe even put him up there ahead of Speier and maybe even Buckner...
EDIT: Nevermind, I'm a dumbass...you already said the answer has been guessed. :P

good guesses, but not quite. I have the luxury of having looked this one up, and I can tell you that there are 4 or 5 who have thrown 8 or more in a season.
clemens and somebody?
Blyleven and Ryan are two of them... i hate being on the other end of dragging this out.
EDIT: added Ryan

I was wondering why you guys were guessing 2 at a time.
I can't believe I fucked up the question.
There were 3Ryan and Blyleven are two of them, so you're still looking for one; and it is kind of a tough one.
So I got two of 'em on the first guess...!
ummm.....Gooden? That's probably too obvious to be correct...
Quote from: JoeDirt on 11/03/04, 10:16:15 PM

Yup; I'm banning myself from asking any more trivia. Too disorganized.
There's three guys... Nolan Ryan, Bert Blyleven, and _________.
Do you guys want hints?
sure..... :-\
Fuckin' Don Sutton, I bet...he's from the old days and was good enough to make the HOF (although I admittedly don't know a ton about his career)... ???
I hate Don Sutton. He's a no-talent, geri curled ass clown. But I guess he can't be all that bad. He's in the HOF. But when I think of Sutton, I think below average fastball with zero movement and a shitty changeup.
This thread confuses me...
PM me you bastard.
Blyleven, Ryan, and Sutton

Because those of us who have posted questions, have posted incomplete ones... I've said it before and I'll say it again; I certify myself "Retarded for the Day." *STAMP*
Double stamped it, quitsies.
The answer to my question was Bill Buckner. He played in one game in 1969 and 22 games in 1990. Here are Buckner's stats (http://www.baseball-reference.com/b/bucknbi01.shtml)
I should have been more clear that I meant Nintendo RBI and not RBI Arcade.
Tim Raines also achieved this.
Tim Raines @ Baseball-Reference.com (http://www.baseball-reference.com/r/raineti01.shtml)
I am a complete and utter boob. But hey, at least all the confusion padded the post count in the RBI Forum, right...
::)
If you look through the thread, I made a bad mistake with my question.
Raines was close; he played 6 games, but has no official at-bats until 1980.
That still counts as major league service, though.

Woo hoo! I was right! Hooray for me.
OK, which non-All Star team had the most players on its roster play in three or more decades?
I'll guess Cali
Reggie, Sutton, Grich?,
Did Joyner make it to 2000?
Downing? Ruppert played in the 70s
It's not California. They had five players play in three or more decades:
Wally Joyner (86-01)
Reggie Jackson (67-87)
Brian Downing (73-92)
Bob Boone (72-90)
Don Sutton (66-88)
Grich played from 70-86, and Rupperto from 76-87. The team I'm thinking about had nine different players play in three or more decades.
I think the Mets have more than 5 and I don't think anyone else does, so I'll go with the Mets
Gooden
Straw
Carter
Hernandez
Orosco
Ojeda?
Not sure about anyone else
The five Mets who played in three decades are:
Keith Hernandez (74-90)
Gary Carter (74-92)
Danny Heep (79-91)
Dwight Gooden (84-00)
Jesse Orosco (79-03)
The team I was thinking of was Detroit, with nine players...
Alan Trammell (77-96)
Kirk Gibson (79-95)
Darrell Evans (69-89)
Chet Lemon (75-90)
Lou Whitaker (77-95)
Tom Brookens (79-90)
Mike Heath (78-91)
Dave Bergman (75-92)
Jack Morris (77-94)
Wow, I didn't think it was Detroit
I didn't think Trammel and Gibson played before 1980, I thought Chet was gone before 1990 andd didn't guess Heath or Bergman
Lists for the other teams not mentioned:
Boston (4)
Dwight Evans (72-91)
Roger Clemens (84-04)
Bill Buckner (69-90)
Ellis Burks (87-04)
Houston (5)
Denny Walling (75-92)
Dickie Thon (79-93)
Terry Puhl (77-91)
Nolan Ryan (66-93)
Mike Scott (79-91)
Minnesota (4)
Gary Gaetti (81-00)
Bert Blyleven (70-92)
Juan Berenguer (78-92)
Jeff Reardon (79-94)
San Francisco (4)
Jeffrey Leonard (77-90)
Will Clark (86-00)
Rick Reuschel (72-91)
Don Robinson (78-92)
St. Louis (4)
Ozzie Smith (78-96)
Tom Herr (79-91
Jack Clark (75-92)
John Tudor (79-90)
AL All-Stars (10)
Willie Randolph (75-92)
Jose Canseco (85-01)
Cal Ripken Jr. (81-01)
Harold Baines (80-01)
George Brett (73-93)
Mark McGwire (86-01)
Paul Molitor (78-98)
Julio Franco (82-04)
Bret Saberhagen (84-01)
Dave Rightetti (79-95)
NL All-Stars (10)
Tim Raines (79-02)
Benito Santiago (86-04)
Andre Dawson (76-96)
Eric Davis (84-01)
Andres Gallarraga (85-04)
Pedro Guerrero (78-92)
Dale Murphy (76-93)
Tony Gwynn (82-01)

John Franco (84-04)
If only Minnie Minosa was in RBI...the dude played in 5 decades. Top that.
More RBI Trivia: Without cheating...Who are the 3 NES RBI bench players to have won batting crowns?
I swear I didn't look this up, but I know this one.
Madlock, Gwynn, and Molitor.
Madlock
Molitor
and....FUCK!
Are you including All-Stars?
If so Tony Gwynn, Paul Molitor, Julio Franco
If not, I have no idea
Fuck, I knew it was Madlock
I can't believe I brain-farted Gwynn. :P

Most RBIs by an RBIer in one season?
I'm guessing George Bell
Hack Wilson in the arcade obviously...
In RBI without cheating.... Jim Rice?
Andre Dawson
Off the top of my head, Kevin Mitchell, but I could be wrong about that.
Wait, I think it's gotta be Big Mac, big numbers during the late 90's power boom.
Big Mac is close, but Guess AGain.
canseco?
AGain!
I cheated and looked at the answer. Good question...
I cheated, so let me just say, this is a very good question, many more guesses before the correct answer is my guess
Mattingly had 145 in '85 or so....that's my guess.
Good guess, I was about to guess Donny before I cheated, but it's wrong
Many more guesses? Well, let me just say that I have dropped a big hint in previous posts.
I hate dragging it out.
Don Baylor?
Nice, I hadn't noticed that
