Who is the all-time leading scorer in Big East men's basketball

Big East freshman of the year

3x all Big East

2x All American

 

[Scottzer]

Here’s three………

1) Name the MLB player holds the record for the most RBI’s in a season (191) and the player who had the 2nd most (185) in a season?

2) Who hit 58 HR’s in 1938?

3) Who had a batting average of 364, hit 58 HR’s and had 169 RBI’s in 1932.


No fair Googling

I won’t cheat. Hack Wilson has the rbi record. Gehrig was close, at 180 plus, so I’ll take him.
2) must be Jimmie fox
3) has to be Ruth, Gehrig never hit 50 hrs

 

[AdamaNation]

I think the RBI single season champ is Hack Wilson. Not sure about #2.

Not sure about 1938.

I think the 1932 slugger is Jimmie Foxx.

Was number 2 Joe Carter? I thought he had done crazy rbi year for some reason.

 

[HooperScooper]

Big East freshman of the year

3x all Big East

2x All American

If you gave me 50 guesses I wouldn’t have gotten that one. But for good reason. UConn wasn’t in the Big East for any of his career.

You’re warm, here’s one for extra credit……..

How deep was the right field line at the old Yankee stadium.

Two players went to USC at the same time, one went to the MLB and became MVP, the other went to the NFL and became a Superbowl MVP. One more hint, ones first name is the same as the other person's last name. Who are those two players?

Lynn Swann
Fred Lynn

I know one was Cobb losing to Hornsby by a fraction.

partial credit - in 1922, Cobb hit .401 but George Sisler hit .420. in 1911, Shoeless Joe Jackson hit .408 but Cobb hit .419.

1922 may have had 3 including Hornsby - see The Three, or Was It Two, .400 Hitters of 1922 – Society for American Baseball Research

McNally Palmer Cuellar and Dotson

That would be Pat Dobson

 

[willie99]

Mullins

Surprised he wasn't picked sooner, but no

Correct

 

[ucp990411]

I think that's Carl Yazstremski in 1968, Year Of The Pitcher. .296?

.301

 

[CONN78SEJ]

296

….

Nope, but you were very close

 

[CONN78SEJ]

Whoa... Totally wild guess but I'll say Mays and Ruth. And Ruth only because he was an idiotic baserunner and would have attempted to steal home far too many times.

I saw Mantle steal home in the early 60’s. If he could do it, bad knees and all, you’d think Ruth could’ve done it ten times, especially if it was during his earlier and more athletic years.

Name the the 6 teams in the four major men's sports leagues (MLB, NBA, NHL, NFL) who share a name.

 

[CONN78SEJ]

Mullins

Geez, what about John Havlichex, Milt Chamberlins, Joe Joe Whites, and Bob Cousies?

 

[cwh20]

The first UConn player from Hamden selected in the first round in two major sports. Note: He’s also the first ever regardless of school or town. I don’t know if there is anyone after him that also has that honor.

Here is a more challenging one: name the three 1975 Red Sox who share last names with towns in MA. One of them also owns another major league distinction as a “last to” what?

 

[Deepster]

Yaz 1968, ,301 in his triple crown year?

One of the most overrated players of modern times.
