Cubs Trivia Bonanza

Submitted by Rob G. on
I have a few here I've been saving for a slow day....
  1. Who holds the single-season record for most home runs by a Cubs rookie?
  2. Who has hit the most home runs as a pitcher in Cubs history...bonus if you can name how many?
  3. In 1962, The Chicago Cubs used the first African American Major League Baseball coach. Who was he?
  4. Who was the youngest pitcher in Chicago Cubs history?
  5. Name the winningest left-handed pitcher in Cubs history...by total number of wins?
As always, do your best to answer without the benefit of a web search...

I did not look any up (which I am sure you will be able to tell by my answers). 1) Jerome Walton 2) Fergie Jenkins - 24 3) ??? 4) Kerry Wood 5) Terry Mulholland No making fun of my answers...

The legendary Buck O'Neil was the first African-American MLB coach (Cubs College of Coaches - 1962) .

On the chance that the answers are post-1955, I'll take a shot at 1, 4 and 5. George Altman, Dick Drott, Dick Ellsworth

shutout Virgina Phil....AZ Phil of course is right with his drop-in. Virginia Phil did have the right name for one of the answers, but for the wrong question

This quiz is too tough, but maybe the readers can answer something easier, What single season Cubs batting record did Juan Pierre set last year?

Submitted by The Real Neal on Fri, 03/23/2007 - 03:46 am

1. Billy Williams 2. Fergie 3. had no clue 4. Someone from 1944 probably 5. Holtzman Too tough for me.

What single season Cubs batting record did Juan Pierre set last year? Outs or singles.

Submitted by Steve Christmas on Fri, 03/23/2007 - 03:51 am

2. But me down for Fergie too, but Dave Roberts had a lot per at bat. 5. Ted Lilly :)

Submitted by Virginia Phil on Fri, 03/23/2007 - 03:06 am

Drott was righty, so Ellsworth must have been the youngest.

Submitted by Rob G. on Fri, 03/23/2007 - 03:12 am

it looks like we've got all the correct answers... 1. Billy Williams - 25 in 1961 2. Fergie Jenkins - 13 (Z's coming for you) 3. Buck O'Neill 4. Dick Ellsworth in 1958 @ 18 years and 3 months 5. Hippo Vaughn - 151 over 9 seasons

What single season Cubs batting record did Juan Pierre set last year?... Outs or singles. Don't know about the record for outs. And Pierre didn't set the team record for most singles in a season, although I believe he did surpass the record for a left handed hitter 156 (155).

Submitted by Rob G. on Fri, 03/23/2007 - 03:23 am

I vote plate appearances or Ab's on the Pierre question....I bet he's up there in total outs too. 162 games for a leadoff man, he'll get his whacks more than anyone else.

Submitted by cubswinthepennant on Fri, 03/23/2007 - 03:46 am

You got it, Rob G. Pierre blew away the old record for AB's held by Bill Buckner 699 (657). I'm guessing he also set the record for PA's as well.

Submitted by Rob G. on Fri, 03/23/2007 - 03:49 am

8th in singles, 5 short on plate appearances although they can only approximate on some of the older guys.

Submitted by Wes on Fri, 03/23/2007 - 03:52 am

Soriano 8 Murton 7 Lee 3 Ramirez 5 Jones 9 Barrett 2 DeRosa 4 Cedeno 6 Z 1 Pretty close to the expected opening day lineup, sans Cedeno. [/threadjack]

    Hi Arizona Phil!

    Exciting to see Naz Mule in box scores a few times. What's his stuff like now after the TJS?

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Mastrobuoni can't come back, yet

    Wisdom does have an option left. He can hide in Iowa if Jed DFA's someone else

    Does Brennan Davis get shown the door? I know it's too early for that, but these injuries are crunching the roster of a 12-7 team playoff demands and BDavis isn't going to help anytime soon.

    Someone has to go to add Peralta. And Canario isn't going to get to play everyday regardless of RHers or LHers. Neither is Tauchman. Also don't see PCA getting a chance over Peralta.

    If Jed does those moves:

    4 OF: Belli, Peralta, Canny, Tauch

    2 C: Gomes and Amaya

    2 DH: Cooper and Mervis

    5 INF: Busch, Nico, Dansby, Morel, Madrigal

    Little short on OF depth but two injuries will do that

    I have had the pleasure of watching some of the young A's pitchers lately (first Joe Boyle the last day of Minor League Spring Training in March, and more recently Luis Morales last week and Steven Echavarria yesterday at Extended Spring Training), and it reminds me of the Miami Marlins a couple of years ago. A really nice collection of young pitchers. It will be interesting to see what the A's will get for two years of ex-Cub Paul Blackburn at the Trade Deadline (there should be a robust market for Blackburn).

    Good deal

    MB needs some talent infusion!

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Childersb3: Very possible. Suriel, too. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    DJL: if a pitcher is recalled to be the 27th man for a doubleheader and then is optioned back to the minors the next day, the 15-day "clock" does NOT reset. The one day call-up for the doubleheader is treated like it never happened with respect to a pitcher having to spend at least 15 days on optional assignment before he can be recalled. 

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    Probably the only reason David Peralta is still in the organization (he is at AAA Iowa) is to be available in case anything bad were to happen to Ian Happ (which it just did). So if Happ needs to go on the IL, the Cubs can select Peralta to play LF, DFA Wisdom (and hope he and what remains of his $2.725M salary gets claimed off waivers), and recall Mervis to platoon at DH with Cooper (with Canario / Tauchman sharing RF), at least until Suzuki and Happ are back...

    i'd just like to take a moment to express to the world i'm still pissed willson contreras is not a cub when the pricetag was 5/87m (17.5m/yr).

    it would be nice to have a legacy-type player to stick around, especially one with his leadership and the respect he gets from his peers.  cubs fans deserved more than 1 season of contreras + morel...that was gold.

  • crunch (view)

    happ, right hamstring tightness, day-to-day (hopefully 0 days).

    he will be reevaluated tomorrow.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    I guess I'm not looking for that type of AB 

    Just a difference of opinion
