Obscure sports trivia

Frank Robinson in the AL.

I would have said Davey Johnson, but that was before he had his startling power surge with the Braves.

 

Hey, those were MY guesses!

 

I know Aaron hit a homer in Game 1 against the Mets.

Not so sure about Robinson.

 

Rico Carty for the NL?

 

Brooks Robinson?

 

Frank. See above.

BTW, I'm still guessing Frank. Was just saying I'm not as certain about that as I am about Aaron.

 

Frank Robinson for the AL, Tony Gonzalez for the NL.

 

I know Aaron hit a homer in Game 1! Guess Gonzalez hit one first?

 

Who was the first designated hitter to hit a home run?

 

I don't know, but Ron "The Boomer" Blomberg was the first DH to bat.

 

In the 5th. Aaron hit his in the 7th.

 

Not Blomberg.

Hint (which may only provide marginal assistance): he was the only one of the 12 DHs to put one out that day.
