Title: RBI Trivia
Post by: ericdavisfan on 09/26/05, 12:19:51 PM
If you watched the Angels/Devil Rays game last night, you might know the answer to this....

For the last two seasons, Carl Crawford has posted 15 or more triples.  This makes him only the 2nd post WWII player to accomplish the feat.  Which RBI legend shares this feat with Carl Crawford?

from the stats im looking up, this question doesn't seem right.

remember, willie wilson is not mookie wilson.  i wonder if they got it wrong.  willie wilson of KC got over 15 triples in a season 4 times.

15 or more triples for consecutive seasons.  Sorry if the question wasn't specific enough.  I implied it through Crawford, but didn't state it for the RBI'er.  I apologize for any confusion

All of the guesses so far are good, but wrong.

Great guess, but wrong...plus he's not on my copy of RBI

that's funny, i can't believe i wrote that.... i'm looking at these lists and i can't see anyone who's close.  apparently i was just reminiscing about his days an angel in the early 80's. 

i know you didn't have to look this up because you saw it on the broadcast, but when you give the answer, i'm gonna need some proof of this. 

...i'm still trolling.

I'll give a little hint.  The correct RBI'er is probably one of the last people that you'd think of to be the correct answer.  He's a non-all star and a starter on the NES RBI

I just looked it up (it was driving me crazy) and it is an excellent question.  Your hint is good.  Kudos to EDF, once again!

Yes, I was going to guess him (after EDF hint), but decided to look it up first for some reason so I didn't post it

Congrats to Shooty!

Jim Rice it is!  He had 15 triples in 1977 and 1978.  I actually "rewound" the broadcast on my DVR to make sure that I heard it right.  I wouldn't have guessed that in 3,000 thousand years  ;)

good question edfan, and a sneaky pre-'80's stat is an excellent piece of trivia.

I take no credit for the quality of the question since I ripped it off of a TV broadcast last night.  A great RBI reference nonetheless, though.
