Trivia

[sdcheezhd]

Dizzy Dean sounds right. 1934 I think.

 

Since McLain I'd guess Carlton in the NL with 27 and Guidry in the AL with 25.

[mls4]

Sorry I meant that there are 2 players tied for the most wins in a season since McLain (one in each league). So Carlton is correct but Guidry is not.

[Tedaldtada]

Bob Welch in AL with 27.

[topper09er]

Dizzy Dean is correct.

[topper09er]

Good guesses...but they are all wrong

[Fatter than Joey]

1.) 51 years

2.) What is the minimum games?

3.) Birdie Tebbets?

4.) Leo Durocher

5.) Larry Doby White Sox.

[TooLiveBrew]

On #2, is there any qualifying amount of games? Or is it possibly a trick question where a guy managed like 10 games on an interim basis & won, say, 8 of them?

[Fatter than Joey]

Thats what I wondered

 

I am sure there are a bunch of dudes with a 1-0 record.

[topper09er]

Sorry its not a trick question, at least 300 games managed.

 

5) Larry Doby is correct, the 2nd black player and 2nd black manager

[DKM4Boston]

2) Charlie Comiskey?

4) John McGraw?

[Fatter than Joey]

2.) Hank Bauer

3.) Charlie Grimm

[whizkid]

3) Fred Haney

[Fatter than Joey]

yep, Haney -- I knew it wasnt Grimm but that was as close as I could get

[mls4]

Bob Welch is correct.

 

I'm thinking Connie Mack managed for 57 years and the Braves manager was Bobby Bragan.

[Fatter than Joey]

Bobby Bragan was way later. It's Fred Haney

[topper09er]

1) It is 50 years, from 1901-1950 close enough

3) Fred Haney

4) John McGraw
