4. 1986 was Roger Clemens' year. The Boston righthander from Texas probably had one of the greatest single seasons for a pitcher in the history of baseball. It's no surprise that he grabbed both the Cy Young and MVP awards. He was probably the biggest reason why the Bosox won their first American League championship since 1975. Yet, although Clemens dominated the 1986 seasons, he did not lead all major pitching categories amongst starters in the American League. In which category did Clemens not place first?
A. Wins
B. ERA
C. Strikeouts
D. Fewest hits per game
5. The 1986 Baltimore Orioles would like to forget last year. Despite the return of skipper Earl Weaver, the O's finished dead last in the American League East with a 73-89 mark. Yes, both the Brewers and Indians finished ahead of Earl's once-proud Birds. Name the last season Baltimore sported a losing record.
A. 1967
B. 1963
C. 1974
D. 1972
6. Daryl Strawberry of the Mets is considered to be one of the bright young sluggers in the National League. Many remember his monstrous homer two years ago in St. Louis off of John Tudor in extra innings to keep the Mets in the Pennant race. Or his homer in Game Seven of the 1986 World Series? Last year, Strawberry had 27 regular-season round-trippers and finished third in homerun ratio (he had 5.68 homeruns for every 100 at bats). The Phillips's Mike Schmidt finished, but can you name the other slugger who topped Strawberry's mark?
A. Glenn Davis
B. Kevin McReynolds
