Sunday Night Trivia

[BlownRanger]

In honor of Wild Dog's outstanding offseason diversions, I'll ask my favorite trivia question, and it's not that easy to look it up if you're so inclined:

What team used six different starting pitchers in a seven-game World Series?

[HudsonHawk]

1955 Brooklyn Dodgers.

[BlownRanger]

1955 Brooklyn Dodgers.

Nope. 

[HudsonHawk]

Nope. 

Well, it may not be the answer you were expecting, but the 1955 Dodgers did it, starting Don Newcombe, Billy Loes, Johnny Podres, Carl Erskine, Roger Craig, and Karl Spooner.  If there is more than one answer, your question is pretty pointless.

I stand corrected.  I was watching the Series I am referring to, and made the mistake of believing the announcers when they said it was the first time.  I know it hasn't happened since.

You're right.  Sorta makes the question pointless.  But I'll wait to see if anyone knows the 2nd time.

You mean the first time.  It was the Dodgers in 1947.

'71 Pirates

'71 Pirates

That was the most recent, but not the only.

'71 Pirates

This is what I was originally looking for, but as HH has pointed out, I committed the cardinal sin of trivia and asked a question of which I did not know the answer.

Actually, you committed the sin of asking a question which had multiple answers.  No worries though, it happens to the best of us.

You don't get the title Double Secret Super Pope for nothing.  He sees beyond your small limited vision.
