That's all of them

Pujols
Cabrerra
Martinez
Cano

Hey I got one of them. I knew Cabrera and suspected Martinez, but others beat me to them.

You forgot Drew Butera [X(]



djskillz -> RE: Baseball Trivia (6/14/2017 1:26:07 PM)

That's the easiest trivia question you've ever given.

I KNOW!

I was feeling nostalgic about some of the old school Twins nicknames. How many players can you tie to the following nicknames. Some are pathetically easy. A couple might stump anyone not named Ed Funk

Hollywood
Bluegill
Mongo
Papa Jack (later renamed to Poppa Up)
Disco Dan
Dr. Strangeglove
Rat
Wrench
Thor
Pudge
Sweet Music
This one is not a nickname, but he was known for his Polish army
Cool Breeze
Head
T Rex



Mr. Ed -> RE: Baseball Trivia (7/6/2017 9:53:04 AM)

don't know bluegill

or

Cool Breeze

The rest? You bet. Someone take a shot at these.


Lots of great memories in my yout with those names.

Hints on those two. Calvin Griffith handed out the Bluegill moniker. Kirby Puckett handed out cool breeze. The player informed him that he didn't like that name to which Puck replied, "I didn't ask if you liked it rookie, I said you were Cool Breeze".



twinsfan -> RE: Baseball Trivia (7/6/2017 10:00:27 AM)

Pretty sure I aced it.



TJSweens -> RE: Baseball Trivia (7/6/2017 10:03:35 AM)

You did get 4, so if we are grading on one hell of a curve, I guess you could say you aced it.

I remember Mongo bearing down on second base on a ground ball. The second baseman didn't bother with a relay. He just caught the throw, touched second and kept going to infield grass.

I know I got at least 5 right.

Gladden

TJSweens -> RE: Baseball Trivia (7/6/2017 10:35:17 AM)

I stand corrected. You did get Ford. So you got 33%.



sixthwi -> RE: Baseball Trivia (7/6/2017 11:34:02 AM)

Dr. Strangeglove is Willie Norwood.



TJSweens -> RE: Baseball Trivia (7/6/2017 11:35:30 AM)

I remember Willie dropping 3 in one game. Afterward, Gene Mauch confiscated his glove and burned it.
