Obscure sports trivia

Ding, ding, ding. He also pulled the hidden ball/potato trick while managing a youth baseball team proving he was a multi sport rule bender.

 

Stealing this from Twitter:

Name the two players who have 50+ home runs for both 2019 World Series franchises.

 

This including Expos? If so, I'm guessing Rusty Staub is one.

 

It does and yes, Rusty is one

 

Maybe alou?

 

I heard this story years ago and was going to post, as a guess, that it was Roger Neilsen. But the Hall of Fame ID threw me, so I didn't post it. I wouldn't have thought he was in the Hall of Fame. This came up when he coached the L.A. Kings. Before the era of each team having a timeout, if his players were gassed, he would change goalies. They allowed the new goalie to face a few practice shots (like a relief pitcher warming up). The players could get a breather. Next whistle, he would change the goalies again. That led to rules changes in which a replacement goalie did not get to see warmup shots. Eventually, the timeout was added. I hadn't heard about the penalty shot thing, but I did hear about the goalie leaving his stick in front of the goal when he was pulled for an extra attacker.

 

He's the other

 

the unheralded 4th Alou brother.

 

Came across this when doing a Sporcle quiz and thought it was more interesting than I think it will be obscure.
The most World Series MVPs anyone has won is two. How many have done it and who were they?

 

Reggie?

 

Koufax in 1963 and 1965?

Bob Gibson in 1964 and 1967?

Frank Robinson in 1966 and 1970?

 

Reggie yes. For Oakland and New York
