Trivia - Who is Mark Teixeira and what makes him unique?

PatrickMcIrish · Sep 2, 2003

What did he accomplish this year?

Fishhead · Sep 2, 2003

World record for push-ups in one hour??

Chris@OlympicSports · Sep 2, 2003

Teixeira was a All-American at Georgia Tech, his idol was Donnie Baseball, that why ishe wears #23. He has star written all over him

Teixeira is the sixth switch-hitting rookie in major league history with at least 20 homers

I can`t think of what he`s unique for, is it the X in his name???

He grew up about 5 minutes from me...I have been hearing about this kid since he was a freshman highschool! From that point on he was hyped as a Major Leaguer (which I figured was just hype) but not this time!

Bingo. Can't ever fool this guy. Was in the paper today and thought I would see if anyone would get it. To me the number seemed low, seemed like there would have been more in the history of the game than only 6. Anyway good job..

Eddie Murray would be one of the 6, hitting 27 in 1977...The other 4 I would guess Mantle (if he qualified). Maybe Reggie Smith another, Ted Simmons another switch hitter with power....

Now that's a hell of a question, name the other 5?

LogansRun · Sep 2, 2003

While we're on the trivia kick, name the 5 pitchers who have given up homers to Barry and Bobby Bonds.

i'd say phil niekro is one of them.

MadCapper · Sep 2, 2003

Berkman?

-MC

MadCapper · Sep 2, 2003

Charlie Hough?

TheQuietMan+ · Sep 2, 2003

Jessie Orosco is one of the pitchers that gave up HR's to both Bonds

tsm123 · Sep 2, 2003

Heathcliffe Slocombe?

blueedwards · Sep 2, 2003

how about nolan ryan...the only pitcher to give up homeruns to roger maris, mark mcgwire and sammy sosa.

wilheim · Sep 2, 2003

Orosco is one for sure and the only one still active this year. He also is the first guy to strike both Bobby and Barry out.

wil.

LogansRun · Sep 2, 2003

89 yr old Orosco is indeed one of the pitchers.

Blue, you should get this one: He pitched for the Flubs, Pirates and Giants and was rather heavy set or just plain fat.

This Lefty pitched for the Angles, Strangers and Tiggers.

He pitched for the A's, Jays, Yanks, LA, Flubs and last pitched for the Dbacks.

blueedwards · Sep 2, 2003

rick rueschel? mike morgan?

LogansRun · Sep 2, 2003

Blue is two for two!

I thought Morgan retired years ago only to find out he was pitching for Arizona last year. It's like seeing Julio Franco with the Braves. I thought he was retired too. Who's next, Vince Coleman with Tampa?

wilheim · Sep 2, 2003

Lefty Frank Tannana

blueedwards · Sep 2, 2003

my buddy does an impression of rick rueschel going into the stretch that would make you piss you pants.
