Rarity 19. Some serious white knuckling on the DBacks, as usual. I knew their players on the first few seasons, so my knowledge pool for that team is pretty limited.

My worst disaster yet; I won't even bother posting.

However, a question? Are the 1902 Orioles no longer considered a Yankees precursor team? Because I got a no for using them as such, which confused me.

Baseball-Reference has made the move to dissociate the New York Yankees franchise from the 1901 & 1902 Baltimore Orioles (not connected to the current Baltimore Orioles franchise). This adjustment allows us to fall in line with the Yankees franchise itself and most references including Total Baseball, edited by MLB's official historian, John Thorn, who authored an interesting history of the move.

More historical than I've been doing

There was a lot of traffic between the decaying Tigers and the decrepit Red Sox of the 1920s, but that doesn't excuse mixing up the two walkons I was thinking of.

Should have just gone with my first guess, the 20-game winner, honestly.

(Also, Bill Terry was a chickenspit guess, so perhaps I deserved this. Feh.)

Splitter24 · 09-27-2023, 06:15 PM

Rarity 1. I thought I had a truly obscure Red Sox/Giant in Randy Kutcher, but apparently more people than I thought remembered that.

Rarity 117. It's disheartening that I can have a decent result and then throw it away by mixing up two sets of Senators.

Disheartening, but sadly not unprecedented.

(Also disheartening that I now realize the same player would have been an improvement on three separate selections here. Not that I could have used him for all three, of course.)

And I'm a bit shocked by the turn-out of the Jim Delahanty Fan Club, I admit.

Single season: Must happen with team in question.

Therefore, Parker can only win a batting title with the Pirates. But if we're talking about a career 3,000 hit guy, any of the teams he played for is in play.

Also, averages (like batting average) do not have a minimum plate appearances qualifier, both for single season, and career, which makes Charlie Montoyo an excellent pick for the Washington Nationals, both for single season, and career .300+ average.

Great minds Amazin. Same fireballers for K kings, plus Messersmith for Angels/Braves.

Rarity 4. Probably could've thought longer about the Mets All Star pick.

Amazin69 · 09-30-2023, 03:45 AM

And it is a 3-way tie! Rarity 4

No, Sam Jethroe did not make the ASG, even though he won ROY. I guess it was "Spahn and Sain and sit down, son" that year.

(Fred Frankhouse? Wow.)

At least I finally got to salute Sam Rice's single season by the lake, but still.

Splitter24 · 10-01-2023, 05:39 AM

Rarity 7. Any day where you get to type "Togie Pittinger" is a good day.

Amazin69 · 10-01-2023, 06:03 AM

Funny that each of us had a different "Last Stop, Kansas City!" Hall member.

You say "Togie Pittinger", I say "Ben Cantwell". I don't care if it costs me .01 more.

I am deeply shamed about Vean Gregg, but the fact that Sarge was a 30-game winner made me curious about how he would score.
