Title: Sunday Morning Trivia II
Post by: Wild Dog on February 15, 2009, 09:41:23 am: Stepping away from Astros trivia this time. Since 1950, only one HOF batter has a career BA of over .400 against a HOF pitcher. Who is the hitter and who is the pitcher?

ETA: Oh, since 1950... nevermind.

No, he hit .215. I can't imagine anyone hitting .400 against Gibson.

Forgot to throw a minimum number of AB's. At least 100 AB's.

Aaron and Koufax?

WAG

Good guess. Aaron hit Koufax well, but not .400. He hit him at a .362 clip.

Only .268. You're looking for 2 career NL players.

Only .260. I'll narrow it down a bit. LHP and RH hitter.

Well that narrows it down to three possible pitchers. I'll go with...

Willie Mays against Steve Carlton.

Post by: Wild Dog on February 15, 2009, 04:58:12 pm: Checked out some of Oswalt's stats against players around the league and found that Dan Uggla is 0-for-13 against Roy, the most by far of any active player. Pedro Feliz is hitting .452, Mark DeRosa .435, Michael Barrett .375 with only 1 HBP (far too low a number), Neifi Perez .407, Jason Bay .355 and Ryan Howard .471 just to name a few.

Josh Willingham has faced Roy 15 times and has been plunked 3 times. Jason LaRue also has been hit 3 times but in 34 plate appearances. Pujols and Adam Dunn have each hit 4 HR's off him. He struck out Jim Edmonds the most, 20 times. He faced Sammy the Clown 33 times , struck him out 15 times, allowed only 4 hits and never walked him. He owned Sammy.
