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]

    Cubs sign 28 yr old RHRP Daniel Missaki. He was in MiLB from his 17yr old to 19yr old years and did pretty well.
    He's been in Mexico and Japan the last four years and has done well also.
    He's supposedly Japanese and Brazilian.
    Interesting sign. We obviously need to RP in the system
    Injuries are mounting everywhere!!

    Sure, they made generally short term trades for established players to enhance what they already had or traded for players early enough in their careers that they were essentially Cardinals from the start. What they never did was to try to use the more established players as foundational cornerstones.

    Essentially we’re saying the same thing. They have given up on player development to the point that even their prospects that make it to the bigs flop so that they have to do things like buy most of their rotation and hope for the best.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I don’t buy that. They had been doing that for years.

    They did it with Matt Holliday. They did it with John Lackey. They did it with Mark Mulder. They did it with Jason Heyward, who had a great year for them. I’m sure there’s more but those come to mind immediately.

    I attribute it more to a breakdown in what they’re doing in terms of development than a culture thing.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    They won those trades and sacrificed their culture. That’s exactly their problem.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    The other part that’s kind of crazy is they made two very high profile trades, one for Goldschmidt and one for Arenado, and they very clearly won those trades. They just haven’t been able to develop players the last handful of years the way they usually do.

    I guess the moral there is it’s hard to stay on top of your game and be good at what you do in perpetuity.

    Marmol was extended at the beginning of the year. Two years I believe.

    Craig Counsell doesn’t have a timetable for Cody Bellinger who technically has two cracked ribs on his right side. CT scan showed it today.

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    Thought it might have been David Peralta given the open 40 man spot and how PCA has played so far. 

  • Dolorous Jon Lester (view)

    I hope they keep Mozeliak a few more years. Marmol too!

  • crunch (view)

    wow, counsell coming with the early lineup.  rarity.
