Friday trivia.

Post by sikeston bulldog2 »

Good morning

Since 1980, how many teams have finished last in spring training, and made playoffs? Who?

Since 1980, how many teams won Spring training and won the World Series? Who?

In the 2004 WS, the cardinals never lead a full inning in any of the four games. True/false.

Orioles were last with four 20 game winners in a season. Can you name the four pitchers.

McNally, Palmer, Mc Gregor and Cuellar? Not sure on McGregor but I think it was 3 lefties.

First question true- never has a team finished last in ST and made postseason in last 45 years.

Question two- yes two is correct. But not STL- 97 Marlins 98 Yanks.

Question three- we led in an inning but never a complete inning. True.

Four correct. Two lefties two righties

2001 Yankees had the worst spring training record, went to WS

2021 Astros were last in the Grapefruit League, went to WS

2015 Rangers had worst ST record, won division

I won’t argue. I read it off site. I’ll check. Good find.

Yes. I checked a couple of yours to be true. Whatever I read wasn’t right. The worst in ST is not corrrect.
