Since people seem to have a lot of fun with these, thought I'd post my own....

Dave Kingman, Steve Finley, Elias Sosa, Jay Johnstone, and Derrell Thomas are they only five players in MLB history who have done what?

I'm just pulling this outta my butt, but I wanna say they all appeared in a fictional world series in the movies.

Have been mentioned in this contest?

Something to do with striking out? How about striking out five times in a nine inning game?

rexvos · July 31, 2008 11:22AM

hit 2 grand slams in the same game.

Barfvader · July 31, 2008 11:26AM

Played for four California teams.

swartz1 · July 31, 2008 11:27AM

They played in all four divisions of the NL and AL in one year...

And by the way, it's more than 5 guys. It's (Mike Aldretti, John D'Aquisto, Dave Kingman, Elias Sosa, Stan Javier, Jay Johnstone, and Derrell Thomas). i just looked it up. Assuming my answer was correct.

Man you guys are good!

BarfVader got it....they are the only five players to have played for four out of the five California franchises (nobody has played for all five).

See my note above - there are actually 7

Actually eight....the list you have missed Steve Finley (probably because he just did it last year).

Now to add in another sub-contest, what has Steve Finley done which nobody else (to the best of my knowledge) has done?

BobaFett72 · July 31, 2008 11:35AM

regarding Finely...continue to collect big paychecks despite being over the hill for some time lol?

He, Mike Hampton and Carl Pavano are the worst contracts in baseball!

Yup.

Brett got the answer to the sub-contest. Anybody know if any other players have played for all the teams in a single division?

OAKESY25 · August 1, 2008 1:01AM

Barfvader · August 6, 2008 1:08AM
