Doesn't trivia by definition include things with no historical significance? :-)

From Merriam-Webster online :-)

Main Entry: triv·ia
Pronunciation: 'tri-vE-&
Function: noun plural but singular or plural in construction
Etymology: (assumed) New Latin, back-formation from Latin trivialis
Date: 1920
: unimportant matters : trivial facts or details; also singular in construction : a quizzing game involving obscure facts

By the way, fairness and fair play are appreciated even if some might not think so. Also, I guess the main reason I am here is to have fun. I can only hope all that enter here are having fun as well. Trivia is, well, trivial I suppose but it is still interesting and in some cases challenging in different ways to different people.

Flaming however, is not.

Just a thought :-D

I think it is a little different when a player pitches in one world series and plays outfield in another, than if he played first base and shortstop. Gives us a break

Take a hint and give us one.

The two teams he played in the series for are Boston and Cleveland he was a much better pitcher than outfielder

Cy Young?

by **goody1313** » Fri Mar 07, 2003 6:18 pm

No But this player would have just been starting his career about the time Youngs ended

Couldn't have been Tris Speaker then....

How about Smokey Joe Wood? Although he wasn't much better as a pitcher than an outfielder, he did play for both teams I think. Whether he played during their World Series runs, I don't know.
