Hory Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 One of them was Brian Taylor, drafted by the Yankees in the 1991 draft. He got into a fight with someone and landed on his arm the wrong way, never making it to the majors since he couldn't pitch the same. Correct. And the other is also indirectly related to the Yankees too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember something about this actually, I believe the other guy was drafted by the Mets but it was so long ago I’m not sure who it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroEric Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 I guess I should give a trivia, how about this, not quite a trivia but... Does anyone know why the Green Monster was constructed? Try not to use the internet... It had something to do with them not having room to expand because of the road, and having to build up instead of out to get decent dimensions, I think. I remember this came up in discussions about the Crawford Boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroEric Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Ok, here's my question. Who are the only two players to be drafted #1 overall in the mlb draft and retire having never played in the major leagues? I'll give you a clue, one of them will be featured in the MVP 94 mod. I don't know this one, but I can tell you that Dave Winfield was drafted to play something akin to every sport known to man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Unit Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 well obviously it was lou gehgrig. i assume. did he also hit a homerun? Yes he did. And I made a spelling typo. The name should be Brien Taylor. Brien, not Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theshadeofice Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 1. tribute to a legend for my team : who is the only player to retire with 299 career homeruns? 2. who was the only player to wear his birthday on the back of his jersey? also, the "shortest player ever" was eddie gaedel for the st. louis browns, part of a promotion by the browns gm. he was 3 foot something and was number one-eighth (1/8).

TwentySeven Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Question: In baseball, a 30/30 season is when a player hits thirty home runs and steals thirty bases. In one of MY seasons, I had a 30/30 season. In addition, in this season I was caught stealing the least number of times of any thirty/thirty season. Who am I, which season was this, and how many times was I caught stealing? Hint: I have had more then one 30/30 season Double Hint: As a player, I have been criticized for my baserunning, fielding, hustle, and plate discipline. Extra Super Double Hint: A modder on this site is named after me, and an admin on this site has a reputation as hating me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
