That’s the answer I was thinking of.
As for the other: Mauch did manage in the post-season (just never in the World Series). 32 is “Goofy”.
[/QUOTE]
32 is correct.

- Name two players with the same name (since 1960) to have hit 30 or more home runs in a season.
[/QUOTE]
Guess I should clarify–same first and last names, not related to each other.
And another question:
- Who was in the on-deck circle when Bobby Thomson hit the “Shot heard 'round the world”?

I’m just going to guess Willie Mays as I think I remember hearing that.

I am going to guess the Rangers, last year, when they plated 27 against the Orioles. I don’t know how many runs they scored the next game; 0?
[/QUOTE]
They rang up 30, which beat the Red Sox’ old record of 29. In the next game they put up a mere 6 runs. In the Sox’ next game they put up 20, for a 2-game all-time record of 49 runs (against 8 from the St. Louis Browns, circa 1950).
- Which player was a member of the visiting team in the inaugural game at Montreal’s Jarry Park (April 1969, vs Cards), then a member of the visiting team in the first game at Olympic Stadium (April 1977, vs Phillies), and at some time between those dates played for the Expos?

Gene Mauch?
[/QUOTE]
As pointed out, it was not Mauch, who did manage in the postseason. The person I mean was manager of two all star games, but never had a finish high enough to make the postseason.
- Who was the first player to play all nine positions in a major league game?
- Who was the second player to play all nine positions in a major league game?
- What ballplayer played all seven games of a world series at a position he had only played in nine games in his career up to that point? (NB – OF counts as a position – I don’t mean he switched from center field to right, or some such).
- Who was the first pitcher to appear in all seven games of a world series?
[QUOTE=RealityChuck]
39. Who was the first pitcher to appear in all seven games of a world series?
[/QUOTE]
My guess here is Darold Knowles.

37. Who was the second player to play all nine positions in a major league game?

Bert Campaneris
Cesar Tovar
Knowles, Capaneris, and Tovar are correct.

Mickey Stanley, Detroit Tigers 1968, moved from CF to SS. The regular season starter at short, Ray Oyler, hit about .090 that year.
Good. And Oyler didn’t hit .090 that year; no one could play in over 100 games (as Oyler did) and have a batting average that pathetic.
Oyler batted .135. With an OPS of .213. And struck out in over half his at bats. 
Still no answer on the manager who managed in two All-Star Games but never in the postseason. If there are no more guesses, I’ll post the answer tomorrow.
Sorry I missed that one. It’s Paul Richards. In 1960 Casey Stengel was forced out of New York (read: fired) after losing the World Series to the Pirates, so Richards, as the manager of the 2nd-place Orioles, managed in the All-Star Games that year (there were two a year from 1959-1962, I believe).

And of course I meant 1961. Stengel managed in 1960, Ralph Houk took over the Yankees for the 1961 season. Richards covered the two All-Star Games in 1961.
Correct. Richards’ teams never finished higher than second – and that was only in 1960 – so he was never eligible to be an all-star manager.
What Exit? is correct on Willie Mays.
zev_steinhardt is correct on Frank Thomas.

Nope. Hint: he’s still in the baseball world, but neither as a manager, coach nor executive.

Wait. You said he was a visitor, on the Cards. Got to be McCarver.
