| Peter, Who is the only player to play on all four Boston Red Sox World Series championship teams in the twentieth century? Hint: #1 He was the first player to lead off both games of a double header with a home run. Hint: #2 He was one of the multiple future Hall of Famers on a team that famously finished last. Saturdy’s question answered: Q. Who hit the fiftieth home run in modern World Series history? Hint: #1 He played for six different minor league teams, not including semipro leagues, but when he reached the majors, he wore the uniform of that team for the next nineteen years. Hint: #2 He is the first major leaguer to have a season of six hundred at-bats without a single stolen base. A. BILL TERRY [SABR Bio] – Ans. On 04-Oct-1924, still in his rookie season, Terry hit a Walter Johnson fastball over the left field wall in the 1st game of the World Series. Terry was the batter that Johnson said he least liked to face. – #1 Terry played for NYG for 14 seasons & managed them for 10. For five seasons, 1932-1936, he did both. – #2 In 1934 he was caught attempting a stolen base with Dizzy Dean pitching. That was the only time that year he even tried. 50+ major leaguers have matched it since. FCR – Dave Williams, Glastonbury, Connecticut ~ D. Bruce Brown |
