i thought since we have a lot of people contributing on here, it'd be a good time to bring back trivia. i think these rules should suffice:

1) i'll ask the first question, and then the person who gets it right asks the next one, and so on.
2) a question will last for 24 hours. if nobody can get it, then the questioner will post the answer and ask another one. if someone gets it right before the time is up, the questioner can can tell him he's correct and that person can start his 24 hour question period whenever he wants.
3) each person only gets 2 guesses/question. it would be nice if everyone abided by this.
4) NO LOOKING UP THE ANSWER ONLINE- if you can't figure it out from your own knowledge, then give up.

just a suggestion: i think the questions should be more based in the modern era and often times in the last 20 years, since most of us aren't very old. obviously it's cool if a 1930's player is in the same answer with 21st century players.

it would also be cool if the questioner made up his own, instead of using one he found online, but it's not a big deal.

lastly, we don't need to have a point system. if you get one right, you can take the bragging rights or i guess it'd be cool to put it in your sig.

ok, here we go at 9:15.

Who are the only 4 players in MLB history to hit at least 200 HR's with 2 different teams? ex. 200 with one team and 200 with another, if anyone was confused.

Manny Ramirez, Mark McGwire, Frank Robinson and Rafael Palmeiro??

Manny, McGwire, Palmeiro, Jimmie Foxx? Foxx seems like a reach, but he may have hit 200 in Boston.

close

Manny, McGwire, Palmeiro and Reggie Jackson??

Only one I am iffy on is Reggie Jackson.

Guess I missed it.

I was going to guess Jackson, too. I can't think of anyone else.

i have no problem giving a hint. the guy is from a long time ago and was righthanded. way before jackson and robinson.

You've stumped me. Foxx is the only really old guy I could think of who possibly did it, but I guess not.
