Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's
home team is winning on a solo home run...and doesn't need there ups in the 5th inning.
1971 Drago in a losing effort for the KC Royals.

As a certified junk-baller in HS and college, I remember emphathizing big-time with Drago for this dubious achievement.....get 12 out of 13 batters out, and you're back in the clubhouse with the big "L".
<< <i>How about trying this trivia question on for size? Which former-San Francisco Giant player claims to have had a close encounter with a UFO? >>
Ron Bryant would be my guess.
<< <i>As a member of the Giants, Darrell Evans and his wife claim to have witnessed a low-hovering UFO over their Marin County home........I think they lived in San Rafael, near the magic mushroom fields! >>
.....the image of Jerry Garcia in a yellow jumpsuit still haunts me.

If you got to the diner on Main Street early enough, you were bound to see an allien or two.....think I caught a couple of zombies having breakfast there too.
Joe DiMaggio referred to this pitcher as the toughest Joe D had ever faced...who was he?

You are correct, sir!
I mean 2B's in his top season plus 3B plus HR. They can be in different seasons.

I looked it up in my book with every grand slam listed: Never heard of the guy.
Though I have heard of Dummy Hoy, the man who hit the second. He was the reason that the umps began using hand signals. Dummy was a deaf mute.

what's the book say?
My book "The Great All-Time Record Book" list both McFarland and Hoy hitting grandslams for the White Sox on May 1, 1901. Since it lists McFarland first, I assumed he did it first. A later google search found this link:
McFarland
