Thanks for the info and correction gentlemen. In my defense, I'm doing this off the top of my head. (Not much room there, see as it's pointy).

I keep hoping for a #16 seed to win a game one of these years. The fact that they haven't is a good reason not to expand the tournament like they are talking about.
Are we open for new a new question?
If so, name the major leaguer that got 3 hits for 2 different teams in the same day?
Bouns: What was the date and who were the teams?

On August 4, 1982, Joel Youngblood knocked in 2 runs with one hit for the Mets against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley. During the third inning he was told that he had been traded to Montreal and immediately left for Philadelphia where the Expos were playing the Phillies. He arrived in the third inning of that game, replaced the right fielder in the sixth, and singled in his only at-bat that game.
2 hits, 3 RBIs, for two different teams on the same day. Is this the guy?

You are the man.
Ok, continuing with Baseball.......
What player had seven seasons in which he hit more home runs than strikeouts?

You're all wrong. Wow, this is really a stumper huh?! Think about that stat though. What a great feat!
That was! :up
Here's another MLB question:
Name the only two players in MLB history to have been hit by a pitch three times in one game, and have had this happen three times during their major league career.
To elaborate a bit on this stat......
Joe DiMaggio played for 13 years all with the Yankees, while serving 3 years during the prime of his career in the Air Force. By today's standards, I just can't imagine a player being able to hit 30+ HR's while striking out less. This stat is truly mind boggling.......

1937- 46 HR, 37 SO
1938- 32 HR, 21 SO
1939- 30 HR, 20 SO
