Well, you guys were fast. The last question I asked was: During the 1994 strike, then-Red Sox general manager Dan Duquette signed three baseball players who would have joined the Red Sox had the Collective Bargaining Agreement to follow had not wiped out those transactions. Who were those three ballplayers?The answers were answered by Jc (John Wetteland) and Tessie’s Dad (Kevin Appier and Sammy Sosa). Can you imagine that team? We could have done some damage, plus the Yankees would not have gotten Wetteland. The face of baseball could have been changed.
Jc and Tessie’s Dad: Please e-mail me which game thread date you would like to write (it can be any game in June).
The new trivia question was submitted by Tessie’s Dad, and I’ve tweaked it a bit. See it here…
This question is in honor of Memorial Day and the sacrifices made by servicemen and women in protecting our freedoms. Many of us know that Ted Williams sacrificed all or part of five major league seasons during the prime of his career to active service in the U.S. military during World War Two and the Korean War. How many combat missions did he fly and why did he receive an Air Medal?
Two-parter question, answer either or both. HONOR CODE: No search engine.
Winner(s) pick the next two polls as well as the honor of next week’s Ceremonial First Pitch for Tim and Paul to opine about on the Fireside Chats podcast.
