The 1989 Sports Cube Baseball Trivia Quiz

2. Although Ryan can boast of his no-hitter record, he certainly should keep quiet when the subject of base on balls comes up. Mr. No-Hitter has walked more than 150 batters five seasons in his career. He is also only the second pitcher in baseball history to give up more than 200 free passes to first base in a season. Ryan did it twice (1974, 1977). Fortunately for Ryan, one Hall of Famer holds the single-season record for most walks. Name him.

3. Forget pitching for now. Can you name the top five career home run hitters among active players? (Give yourself a point for each correct player.)

4. In 1983, the Philadelphia Phillies captured their second National League title in the 1980s. The Phils won the championship by defeating the Dodgers, but lost to the Baltimore Orioles in the World Series. 1983 was also a controversial year for Philadelphia. Pat Corrales, the manager who started the season with the Phils, didn't end the season with them. He was fired on July 18. Can you name who replaced Corrales and led Philadelphia to a National League pennant?

A. Paul Owens

B. Lee Elia

C. Dallas Green

D. John Felske

5. More about 1983. Baltimore's Rick Dempsey collected four doubles in the five-game series against the Phils, which Baltimore won, 4-1. Although Demspey tied a World Series record for most doubles in a single five-game World Series (Eddie Collins did it in 1910), he is nowhere near the two players who share the career record for most doubles in World Series play. Name this duo.

A. Carl Furillo and Lou Gehrig

B. Yogi Berra and Frankie Frisch

C. Duke Snider and Lou Gehrig
