Bases Trivia Quiz Time

What five time all-star led his league in batting average two times. He broke his foot once by kicking first base out of frustration after a pop up. He did that while he was leading the league in hitting.

Later in life he enjoyed his retirement by spending 18 months in Vacaville for marijuana cultivation.

That would be Ferris Fain I believe.

Yeah you believe right. Maybe I gave away too much info on that one.

Hey smarty pants bet you didn't know that Fain was in the top 5 in walks each year of his career except once when he had a top ten finish. Which reminds me of Martinsville. Team Jones is looking strong.

Anyway I digress Fain finished his career with a rather amazing .424 OBP. On that basis alone if I were the judge I would have let him walk. LOL.

BTW, I just noticed that we have an agreed to play in bases tonight. Good Luck to us once again on that one. I like it a lot and will probably go another unit.
