Obscure sports trivia

Jackson, Gandill, Felsch, Weaver, Risberg, McMullen, Cicotte and Williams.

McMullen is the outlier because he was a nobody.

 

Who is the only player to hit four home runs in more than one World Series?

 

lou Gehrig?

 

No. He did it once, in 1928.

 

Mickey mantle?

 

No. He did hit three HRs three times, in 1956, 1960 and 1964.

 

A question that I don't have an answer for: Has there ever been an NFL game where all four quarters started with a kickoff?
Thought about that one today after the Rams-Dolphins and 49ers-Seahawks both had scoring plays on the last play of the first quarter, and I can't ever remember seeing it. Doubt it would be a major stat, so I have no idea how to look it up.

 

not Babe?

 

No, not Babe. Here are all the players to hit at least four homers in a Series, minus the correct answer.

Most home runs, series—5 (6 games) Reggie Jackson, New York A.L., 1977; 4 (4 games) Lou Gehrig, New York A.L., 1928; 4 (6 games) Willie Aikens, Kansas City A.L., 1980; 4 (7 games) Babe Ruth, New York A.L., 1926; Hank Bauer, New York A.L., 1958; Gene Tenace, Oakland A.L., 1972; 4 Barry Bonds, San Francisco N.L., 2002.

This man was not an obscure player.

 

Albert Pujols?

 

Batman, you could ask somebody at profootballreference. I've done this before and they've been good about it.

I've never even seen it on Madden.

 

Duke Snider? I know he did it at least once and he's not on your list here.
