Sunday Morning Trivia II
« 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?

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.

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.

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

Willie Mays against Steve Carlton.

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.
