AFLAC Trivia Questions

boilermaker · 04-24-2007, 08:42 PM

I enjoy these....an overlooked but enjoyable part of every MLB game.

A spin off question of tonight's AFLAC question during the Mets/Rockies game:

Since World War II, who is the only player to have more runs scored than games played?

Hint, the player has been active within the past 25 years, although I think he's retired now.

Larry Walker?

I'm assuming its a player from one of the two teams..

My other guess would be Vinny Castilla

For a season or for a career?

His Own Bad Self · 04-25-2007, 07:58 PM

Lenny Dykstra, 1993?

EDIT: Wrong.

Prodigal Son · 04-25-2007, 07:59 PM

Henderson?

MorseMoose · 04-25-2007, 08:13 PM

Not Walker or Henderson (looking on baseball-ref)

I would've guessed Rickey, too, and I even tried to cheat but I can't find it.

Luis_Rivera · 04-25-2007, 10:36 PM

It's definitely Rickey in 1985.

Ah. I thought it was career.

mikev · 04-26-2007, 01:03 AM

okay I give up. How do you get credited with a run scored and not a game played?

Big Hugg · 04-26-2007, 01:23 AM

I imagine he probably had some games where he scored more than 1 run. Hunch.

DougWyatt · 04-26-2007, 01:28 AM

This is no big deal.

I did it in Little League.

I scored 3 runs yesterday in an intersqaud game without a hit or a walk. Does that make me a trivia question???

And that, folks, is why I do NOT recommend browsing sports related trivia threads after drinking approximately 4 vodka/sprites.

And yes, your correct! David Jenkins has logged 0 innings in a game while logging 50million or so in practice. Thats like a record or something.
