Playoff trivia
« on: October 08, 2009, 10:53:20 pm »
Not an authorized Ding™ distributor so no points to be awarded for this one... but... saw this bit of trivia from Zach Levine at the Chron and thought I'd pass it along.

Bruntlett was left of the PHI NLDS roster (and giving you credit for Andy Pettitte).  8 down, 3 to go (not including coaches - e.g. Bogar).

Hint: the last persons role on the Astros came as a result a trade, signing, pick-up, etc. involving 1 of the other 10 players.

Bingo!  That makes 11.

Bonus crappy trivia - I mentioned Bogar earlier, who are the other 4 former Astros coaching in the playoffs:

Hint 3: Current hitting coach for the Phillies.  Was traded by the Philadelphia Phillies to the Houston Astros for Tom Edens in late '94 and played with the Astros during the '95 season as well.

Too late for the ersatz-ding, but I saw him play in the regional at the Dish that year.  Great natural hitter.
