This Arcade RBIer pitched a 14 inning CG win in the world series. (I think it is the longest CG in WS history, but a quick search couldn't confirm it).

No idea, but I'll take a educated guess and go Whitey Ford...

Title: Re: Name the Player

Not Whitey

I'm gonna guess Bucky Walters (since Ultimate is a fan; I have no idea whether he actually pitched in any Series, though), with Lefty Grove as my second guess.

This inspired another Arcade name-that-player from me; I'll post it when this one has been solved.

EDF got it

Thought it might be a little tricky since he's not a pitcher in the game, but there had been some recent discussion about Ruth pitching.

Which arcade RBIer pitched to one batter in a combined no-hitter?

Title: Re: Name the Player
Post by: ultimate7 on 07/19/05, 11:37:19 AM

I would guess Righetti, but I assume you migh have used NES instead of Arcade for Dave, so I'll guess Gene Garber.

OK, I looked up the answer, nice one Beef, even looking at the list of all combined no hitters (there were 9), it took me a while. The funny thing is I read about that one, and still didn't realize the answer, until I looked at the full list.

It's also Ruth. It's actually a great story - he walked the first batter, complained to the ump, got ejected, then the replacement pitcher came in and threw (I believe) a perfect game.

Gotta love it.

Title: Re: Name the Player
Post by: ultimate7 on 07/19/05, 12:59:59 PM

Ruth it is.

One further since I've been looking into No-No's

This Arcade RBIer is one of 2 players to be involved in a Combined No hitter and pitch his own no hitter. (It's not Ruth this time)

Not only did the replacement pitcher throw a perfect game the rest of the way, but the guy Ruth walked was caught stealing, meaning that the reliever only faced 26 batters in 9 official innings pitched.

Arcade RBIer Rollie Fingers also pitched in a combined No-hitter (the same game as Vida Blue). That's all for RBIers in combined no hitters.

Actually, Witt pitched a perfect game as well. He wasn't the correct answer because he wasn't in the arcade version.

I thought that was the case but look at this link:

http://www.baseballhalloffame.org/library/research_lists/combined_nohitters.htm

"Vida Blue and Kent Mercker are the only pitchers to take part in a combined no-hitter and pitch a no-hit game of their own. Blue hurled a no-hitter on his own against the Twins on September 21, 1970, and Mercker hurled a complete game no-hitter over the Dodgers on April 8, 1994."

They forgot Witt

I just sent a message to the HOF to let them know, let's see if they ever fix it.

This is a question that I have no concrete answers to, but more of a research question for someone to dig up:

Which RBI players were involved in a trade for another RBI player?

I believe Pedro Guerrero and John Tudor were traded for one another in '89 or so. I'm sure there must have been more.
