Couple of posers today concerning relief pitchers and then I'll have a bonus homework question that you will need to research.

Four different Astro pitchers have thrown at least 28 consecutive innings (not necessarily in one season) with out giving up a run in relief. A Ding! apiece.

You're overlooking one closer but the 4th one is the tough one. He started over 400 games in his big league career.

Neither, but only one guess per post to be fair.

I just read something about Harlan Ellison, who knew Theodore Geisel, who said that Seuss was pronounced *SOYCE* but that Geisel couldn't stem the tide of popular pronunciation and ended up capitulating to the common pronunciation.
