Cubs Trivia

Submitted by Rob G. on
2 for you today...
What is the full birth name (first, middle, last) of Harry Caray?
Which Cubs pitcher was the first African-American to throw a no-hitter in the Major Leagues? Bonus points for the opponent and the year.
As always, web searches are discouraged. And for what it's worth, I've never even heard of the player that is the answer to the second question.

Well i don't think it's Fergie Jenkins then cause I'm pretty sure you've heard of him. Then again, you never know with the clowns that run this site.

Sam "Toothpick" Jones? My Dad use to tell me about him, in the 50's after he came over in a trade from Pirates. Caribini I believe is Harry's last name.

Announced Attendance for last nights game at Fenway Park...36,733. I thought I heard by someone on TCR that the Red Sox expanded the capacity to almost 39,000. If so, then why did the Red Sox not sell those extra 2,000+ tickets. The demand HAD to be there.

Press take up some seats? And wasn't there a difference in day and night games although I don't recall which was which.

manny, it's a sad day for baseball when a team can't even sell out a World Series game. Maybe I should put them on my "Teams to be Contracted" list.

for the UMPTEENTH effing time, PLEASE NOTE THE EFFING DATE~! PLEASE NOTE THE EFFING SOURCE!! Fenway renovations on schedule 02/08/2006 5:16 PM ET By Mike Shalin / Special to MLB.com BOSTON -- With the home opener some 62 days away, Fenway Park currently looks anything like a stadium that will host the Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays on April 11. But mark this down: The old place will be ready, complete with all kinds of new stuff. The Red Sox, in their latest move at renovating and upgrading a ballpark that opened in 1912, have torn the upper portion of Fenway apart, in what club president/CEO Larry Lucchino calls "the largest renovation in the history of Fenway Park." Wednesday, the Sox gave the media a tour of the site, complete with hard hats. A walk out to the Green Monster seats, an earlier upgrade of this regime, showed a look at the home plate area that looks entirely different. Gone is the high glass that sat in front of what was the .406 Club. That area will be open now, with a lower half -- the EMC Club, a $275 seat that will be heated -- and upper half known as the Home Plate Pavilion. The top portion will connect with the roof boxes that have also been replaced by what will now be a permanent base structure. The capacity for this season, according to the fire code, will be 38,805, up from 36,298 last year. After the club finishes all upgrades -- this is the fifth one so far under current ownership -- by the park's 100th birthday in 2012, the capacity is projected to be 39,968.

CWTP- If that is really the capacity, why are they not selling those seats/SRO's? Find any articles about that?

"The capacity for this season, according to the fire code, will be 38,805, up from 36,298 last year." who cares...that's how many people they can legally fit into the place. they didnt do it or they didnt do it right. they got 36.5K seats, still. they do have standing room for "special games" but i dunno how or if they counted it. they didnt break 3m again this year and they wont until they actually make their improvements. speaking of which...the new layout of the cubs grounds will drop the actual height of the field a few feet which will eventually lead to more expansion of high $$ seats. given the cubs are getting ready to "sell" it'll probably be years from now when they actually expand. btw btw...dunno if anyone is following Zell, but he's ALL about some newspaper and very little about some baseball. he recently called out the newspaper industry saying theyre "doing it wrong" (not a direct quote) and he has the vision to make newspapers "work" again. g'luck Zell...you didnt tip your hand how you plan on doing it, yet.

Rob G -- Have you ever heard the LP record put out after the 1970 season by Jack Brickhouse called "Great Moments in Cubs History?" It includes a clip from the Sam "Toothpick" Jones no-hitter. Jones walked the bases loaded to open the 9th inning, then struck out Dick Groat, Roberto Clemente and Frank Thomas (or, in the words of Jack Brickhouse, Slugging Frank Thomas -- not inaccurate; between 1953 - 62 he hit from 23 to 35 per season - an off year in '59 with only 15). That record was a must for Cubs fans of the late 60's-early 70's Durocher Cubs -- had some of the best audio calls of the 1969-1970 highlights. I can still hear them in my mind as I sit here.

I hadn't heard of that record but it sounds fantastic. What's a record though? I kid....

Sam Jones was a very good starting pitchers during the fifties. I never understood why the Cubs traded him away to the Cards after two years.

    STL traded away a lot of minor league talent that went on to do nothing in the arenado + goldschmidt trades.  neither guy blocked any of their minor league talent in the pipeline, too.  that's ideal places to add talent.

    Natural cycle of baseball. Pitching makes adjustments in approach to counter a hot young rookie. Now it’s time for Busch and his coaches to counter those adjustments. Busch is very good and will figure it out, I think sooner than later.

    In 2020, the pandemic year and the year before they acquired Arenado, the Cardinals finished second and were a playoff team. Of the 12 batters with 100 plate appearances, 8 of them were home grown. Every member of the starting rotation (if you include Wainwright) and all but one of the significant relievers were home grown. While there have been a relative handful of very good trades interspersed which have been mentioned, player development had been their predominant pattern for decades - ever since I became an aware fan in the ‘70’s

    The Arenado deal was not a deal made out of dire need or desperation. It was a splashy, headline making deal for a perennial playoff team intended to be the one piece that brought the Cardinals from a very good team to a World Series contender. They have continued to wheel and deal and have been in a slide ever since. I stand by my supposition that that deal marked a notable turning point within the organization. They broke what had been a very successful formula for a very long time.

    busch is having a really intense k-filled mini slump.  he deserves better after coming back to wrigley after that hot road trip.

    i know alzolay isn't having a great time right now, but i trust hector "ball 4" neris even less than alzolay based on what i've seen coming out of their arms.

  • azbobbop (view)

    Neris reminds me of Don “Full Pack” Stanhouse.

  • Eric S (view)

    Happ, Busch, Dansby and Madrigal have a combined 25 runners left on base through 7 innings, with Busch accounting for 9 of those.  Seems like a lot.

    PCA finally gets a hit!  2r HR!!!

  • Charlie (view)

    They certainly could be coupled. It could also be the case that a team needs good players at the heart of the team and if they are not coming from one source (development) they have to be sought out elsewhere. I don't see the evidence needed to infer the cause.

    bases loaded for the cubs, 0 out...and no runs score.

    cubbery.
