Name the Player

It has to be Oquendo/Boggs.  Since the question was "what 2 players", I cannot immagine that 2 other players have more than 2.

[Gantry]

Seriously, if you struck out to hjose Oquendo they shouldn't let you back in the league...

[fightonusc]

So what's most worstest, striking out to Oquendo as a batter, or giving up a tater to him as a pitcher?

[ultimate7]

Some one needs to make an All-hJose Oquendo ROM, where every player and pitcher is hJose.

[Gantry]

Even worse than giving up a whiff to Oquendo would be one to Boggs.  Can we find out which losers struck out to Boggs?  I bet the chicken grease on the ball gave him extra break...

[BeeJay]

Would every team be the Baseball Pirates?  This sounds like a fun rom, especially for all the bitches out there who think parity is such a wonderful thing.

[Gerlost]

Yes indeed, Oquendo and Boggs are the two fireballers.

hJose actually pitched 4 innings in a 19-inning Cardinals loss to the Braves, striking out just one but giving up the game-winning 2 RBI double by Ken Griffey Sr.  His other strikeout victim was none other than Neon Deion.

I couldn't find out who Boggs struck out.

Extra useless info: Danny Heep may hold the rare distiction of both giving up a hit to an RBI position player (Gaetti) and getting a hit off an RBI position player (Oquendo).

Wow, good work Gerlost, how did you find these facts?

[Gerlost]

Yesterday, I looked up all the RBIers who pitched and had strikeouts.  Then I went on retrosheet.org and looked up the box scores for the games they pitched in.  Some have inning-by-inning summaries and some don't.

Just a lot of looking and I'm creepin' and I'm creepin'.

That may very well be the most impressive piece of useless RBI knowledge ever, I salute you!

Agreed.  Anyone who can come up with a better trivia question than that deserves something even higher than a Dee-Nee... probably something we don't even know about yet.

Name the two career leaders in games caught for the Oakland A's - one is an RBIer

[fightonusc]

Terry Steinbach has to be one. I know Mike Heath played there in the 1980s, is he the other one?

[Gantry]

Well done, you can have Terry's All-Star MVP trophy...
