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.

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

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]

    per Tribune: Suzuki MRI results pending from yesterday so we should get a timetable for return later today.

    suzuki says he injured his oblique running to 1st, not swinging.  okay.  it's gonna be that kind of 2024 cubs year, huh?

    i would say that's good news compared to screwing it up swinging, but i'm not familiar with the recovery time of people screwing up their oblique by running.

    right side is at least different from his left side oblique injury last year.

    A bit more Jewish take on one of my favorite Cubs, Kenny Holtzman. His 9-0 season while serving in the National Guard and being available to pitch on weekends was one of my coolest teen recollections.

    Suzuki out with oblique strain. Canario indeed is called up. No word on Morel so that might be a red herring (or a red digit).

    AZ lineup is posted but Counsell is always late to post his lineup.

    Best hitter: IL with oblique strain

    Second best hitter: hasn’t looked the same since jamming his right hand during a swing

    Third best hitter: playing through a sore hammy

    Best pitcher: IL after one start 

    Second best RP: IL after 1.5 weeks

    suzuki 10d IL.

    right oblique strain.  ow.  that's generally more than a 10d thing.
