Obscure sports trivia

I went and looked up after my guess since I feared I missed someone obvious. That’s a fun piece of trivia.

 

Mark Grace hit that many triples, but he always stopped at second.

 

Al Kaline, or Steve Carlton.

 

Nope, neither. Hint: primarily played first base

 

Eddie Murray?

 

You got it. He had eight top 10 finishes and finished second in the voting twice in ‘82 and ‘83.

 

What is the MLB record for most players in an all star game from one team in a single season? Give me number, team and year.

 

Not sure if it's the record, but I recall the Mets having 6 or 7 in the 1986 game.

 

Not the mets. Number is much higher.

 

I thought a whole bunch of Cardinals made it one year.

 

The cards have hit nine several times, which is second all time. However, ESPN lists them at 10 for 1943, but a scan of the players shows a St Louis Brown. So back to nine, and not the record.

 

Didn't the Reds get fans to vote every single position player into the All-Star Game many years ago, forcing the league to eliminate fan voting until the 1970s? Can't remember what season it was.
